One hectic period of the semester is over! Just to be replaced by another one but, the previous hectic period was swell ! =)

Basically, I was involved in a play call Rotate 270°    by Melbourne Uni’s Chinese Theatre  Group . I was part of the backstage crew.. and it was  great fun. despite the fact that the play was in Cantonese , and people there are mainly hongkies that speak only cantonese… I’m proud to say my cantonese improved, I made awesome friends and had a great lot of fun.

According to many, being backstage is the easiest job of all, and I don’t think I was going to dispute that until the final show. But still, let me tell you what we basically do. We turn up, wear black, wait for cue, carry stuff out on cue, come back, wait for next cue, go out and take stuff back,…. and so on and so forth. Basically, you got no screen time because its always dark when you go out. So yea. no one sees you =(  And the waiting part is extremely boring.. We had to either:

1. keep quiet and lone
2. play ipod/iphone/blackberry/PSP
3. play cards (illegal, we got caught on first day and never played again)
4. talk to each other in hush tones

So yeap. Basically that was all you can do. And you wouldn’t be interested in watching the play cause, you have watch it a million times.  But in a review ( yes a review by a proper reviewer)  we the backstage were described as “industrious” . YAY!

But bump out was another fun time to be in the backstage. We destroyed the sets. Karate kicking the frames.. running through screens and etc. All fun stuff.

Enough words now i think, and lets see some pictures ( all stolen from facebook) :

 

Group picture, and yea you most likely cant spot me.

 

and others which still have yet to be uploaded.

Goodbye and hello to assignment/test week!
