In preparation - Light Test at Esplanade

Yes! It's on the way... It's happening...

Yesterday, 26 March, we had our light testing session at Esplanade Theatre Studio... This is an experiment session with lights so as to see what could/could not be done...

I took some photos with my iphone and some are really 'mood' and nice... Here are some to share!

Our Set Designer Tolis pondering... Fantasy and Reality... It starts getting interesting when the demarkation is smeared...

One needs to be young-at-heart to do this project... Totally Benjamin! - Our Costume/Special Effects Designer.

One me... Two me... Three me... Ten me... A Hundred Me!!!

Tolis (Set Designer) : I called Dumbledore last night... And he has given some suggestions... Think we should try it out...

Woan Wen (Lighting Designer) : Hmm... yes. I think his suggestions is kinda cool...

Introducing The Troupe... Zachary Ho Tze Siang 何子祥 (Singapore)

Elvis the Funambulist

Zachary Ho Tze Siang

(once christened Augustine by the bishop in a church!)

The Fool who does the high-wire balancing acts while lip-synching to Elvis (Suspicious Minds is his preferred number). A faceless Fool with the words 一目了白 written on his forehead, he feels he balances many things whilst walking the high-wire - between Hope & Regret, between Desire & Denial, between the reincarnation of all his past lives (WOAH Mama!). The Fool is a real performer who never lets the crowd down.

As he inches sweaty-step by sweaty-step towards the end of the high-wire, using the taut tension to feed his journey and give cable to his feverish search for Tomorrowland, he almost wishes he could let go and fall - let the song end and the words remain - but he CANNOT! (Sweet Mary and Joseph!) Do not be fooled by the rhinestones and oversized collars, for the Fool knows that as long as he keeps searching before the end of the act, time is always on his side.

Elvis never died. Everyone looked around for him but no one bothered to look up.

Introducing The Troupe... Tolis Papazoglou Τόλης Παπάζογλου (Greek)

One of the motivating reasons for leaving Greece all this time ago was, and still is, my desire to do theatre work and meet with other people. 

Multiculturalism is my thing, tastily manifested by good cooking and good company. This is what you'd do if you'd want to expand your cultural horizons:

Ingredients:

Potatoes, Aubergines/Eggplants, Greek Olive Oil, Onions, Beef / Lamb / Pork Mince, Garlic, Salt + Pepper, Sugar, Tomatoes + Tomato Paste, Lemon, Oregano, Mint, Parsley, Butter, Flour, Milk, Eggs, Tasty Cheese.

Method:

Slice thick Potatoes and Aubergines/Eggplants and fry in a 3/4 inch of Olive Oil until golden brown. lay on a flat roasting tray Potatoes first Aubergines/Eggplants second. Brown first chopped Onions adding the Mince; when both browned up add the  Garlic, Salt + Pepper, Sugar, Tomatoes + Tomato Paste, Lemon, Oregano, Mint, Parsley, 1/2 a teaspoon of Sugar and the Lemon and Juggle together until the ingredients are properly cooked. Then lay it on top of the Aubergines.                             

Mix up Butter, Flour, Milk, Eggs until a very thick but still runny cream is created and pour it over the other ingredients. Sprinkle grated Tasty Cheese on top. Cook @ 150 centigrade in a preheated oven. Remove when golden, score at size you like, leave to cool down a bit and then Serve in blocks size portions.
