1st visit to NUS
Overhead view of the concert hall sitting
Ladder to Heaven, lol. To the highest point
The rope for hanging the rod to the person
The highest point. This is the wooden plank, imagine taking one off isn't the hole big?
This wednesday my introduction to performing art module went for an outing. We went to the University Cultural Centre to know more about the concert hall.
NUS was damn big, i think about 2 times bigger than our campus.
We were being separate into 2 groups, we went on stage and look at the lights that were being hung above our heads and beside the stage. There were quite a few pieces of woods that is the stage floor. One of the pieces was at least 100kg.
Beside the stage there was an area that are for the producer to sit, there was a small television for the producer to know all the movement of the actor or dancer on stage. And a microphone connected to the dressing room so that when it is the actors turn they can jus use the microphone and no need to go into the room to cut down the troubleness.
Next we went to the control room. The guy show us how they set the light into different colour, and where the spotlight will shine. All this can be recorded down, so the guy just need to press one button simutanously throughout until the end of the show, what a simple job it is.
We swap with the other group. Now we are going to climb the ladder up to the top where the people will try to pull the rope so that those people hanging onto the metal rod can float in the air.
The place was really high. It was 12 to 14 metre high. When you step on the platform the feeling was totally different from we are on the ground. There were holes on the platform on the ground. Once you fell through the hole I would say god bless you. Then the uncle told me that in the old Kallang Theatre the hole was taking away the middle wooden plank, I was damn shock, if for me I sure fall. (Picture reference are on top.)
After that went back to school to had dinner with weixiang and went back home.
i know that i have loved you ... at 11:04 PM
