5-7pm: Joff and me
Tonight, i wanna try something different. I told Joff i want to play nothing related to LightsPlease just to getting more material happening. Instead of being Joff's "Muse", I was listening to Joff's music.

He said sometimes he played Jazz music at restaurants so he played some today in the studio. A second of hesitation, i was too scared to dance in other genre dance besides contemporary dance. But i also believe it was also such a challenge for Joff to firstly watching a mover dancing, and improvising his music last time. so, i stayed brave, and swinging my hip with joy. I heard the music jumping up and down and i imaged Joff's fingers dancing with me...

9-11pm: First Jam with everone!
Different to a dance rehearsal, to organise those musicians sit down and be quite see ms a mission impossible. As long as they grabbed their gigs, they started playing and enjoying their mu sic completely! I was wondering how come i couldn't be as free as they could? I wondered why i am always hesitated dancing, and showing what i love to do in front of people?

Courney spent quite a lit of time organising the musicians and getting them quiet for a while. And we started running the whole stuff. the whole piece started with Joff and me, i was lying on the floor waking up by Joff's accordion breathing...into a music travelling along the world, music battle, drummer and his Queen, digital music fun and finale...

From being confused, til now I slowly understand LightsP lease...

I've been craving to working with live musician and lucky a friend of mine, Genevieve, came and invited me to join LightsPlease, a show combines with performing arts, drama, street dance, hip hop, digital and instrumental music. Therefore, I got to meet Joff Bush today.

It was really difficult to work with someone who's not a dancer or a choreographer. We had different language and point of view to describe and understand ideas, and to find a common language in order to communicate with each other becomes the first priority. Instead of spending a lot of time talking, I got changed and Joff got his accordion ready. We started improvising together and the rule was: Joff had to observe me to change his music, on the other hand, i was his cause, and he was my effect.

It took us a while to get use to listen and see each other and sometimes Music and movements didn't really together but after a while i started to focus on listening to Joff's "voice" and "communicate" with him through my movements. I repeated a lot to get his attention and to see if there's other options for him to play on the same movements. The process became quiet, but engaged.

Instead of fully manipulating Joff's music, we became together. Sometimes, i "told" him what to do without vocal but my movements, and he followed and soon Joff's music influenced my movement quality as well. and I felt we were "composing" something through our head become music and dance and searching for the same image that we created.

I played tricky sometimes, I froze my movement in the middle of no where to check if Joff was still "seeing" me moving. Sometimes he did, and sometimes he didn't and funny thing was he "woke up" in a sudden, and re-focus again and we both flipped into the next page.

FUN!
