.Passage by Synergy '08

University Cultural Centre

Welcome by the brightly-lit building UCC and I was still in time. The second time that Im watching a Contemporary Dance. The previous was by AJC and this time...NUS's Synergy. In fact, I lacked the interest to look forward it in the beginning. But having watched the second, I think contemporary dances are nice to watch (but probably not my interest to dance that) coz it's artsy soothing and magical. It exhibits the graciousness of each dancers and when it intergrates with the music, props and especially lighting..I felt like i was watching some world arts.

The first office themed dance was great. Novel, it is.

Inspiration comes from these people. The relentless, "the show must go on" attitude. Having this dancer who injured her ligament but still went ahead to dance. Now.. that seriously worth a great deal of applause. And to hurt her ligament and still dance beautifully..it just makes people wonder in awe if she was putting up a show in her limpings. But apparently, it was a real injury as confirmed by Char.. And it's not only me. After the dance..audiences were asking if the injury was real or an act. It was too good to be real.

Kinda glad that I went for this performance and shared my friend's fruit in this hardwork!

And on my way back after meeting this disgusting man, it just makes me ponder on how disgusting stares can be. Staring in admiration and pure attraction is just different from a lustful, fantasized one. And it sucks especially when the latter kind of man do it like they have every right in doing so and deny your defy towards their stares. It's just such a disgust that these people in their conscious or sub-conscious have not even the least realisation that they are(were)(will be) invading someone elses private space. And well, private space here refers to the imaginary-boxed and true quantifiable private space.

If staring at something or someone relatively nicer is considered a automatic reflex, I just hope to refute this and say that it is controllable. Then again, it's all too superficial to forget that some people are just not too right up there and perhaps the sexual drives generated from their hypothalamus are just so strong that all other brain parts governing logic, rationality, attention and probably movement are failing.

So then sometimes, groom or not groom?
