Kiki Tay's Multi-Sensory Special Effects Act in WSH Awards Ceremony!

July had been a busy period for me, with Magic Carnival opening its curtains again for the FOURTH season this 31st July along with many other projects and shows, it leaves me very little time to blog.

Here are some pictures taken from my performance last night at WSH Awards Ceremony


It sort of combines all my crazy obsessions into one act! With custom music composed by my good friend, the renowned theatre music maestro Bang Wenfu!

Directing the ASEAN School Games Opening - Media Conference!

ASEAN School Games Opening Ceremony

Media Conference

As many already know, I'll be directing the finale act of the ASEAN School Games Opening Ceremony. 23rd June, we had our media conference debuting the theme song and a sneak preview of the acts to come.

The media conference was held in Esplanade's recital studio.

All set, ready to go!

The ASEAN School Games Opening also marks the opening of Singapore Youth Festival 2011

The hero behind this amazing opportunity, my dearest buddy Dan Kwoh!

At the media conference, we deputed the theme song of the ASEAN School Games 2011

The theme song is composed by Dick Lee, arranged by Sydney Tan and sang by the talented Aisyah Salim

Check out some of the photos taken from the media conference!

After the show for the media, we were interviewed and also treated with some light refreshment.

It was a great experience!

ASEAN School Games Opening Ceremony Rehearsals Part II

More updates on the show that I'm directing "ASEAN ONE!" The finale act of the ASEAN School Games Opening Ceremony  2011 in Singapore!

It has been a long, busy week and we had finally made much progress! Thanks to all the hard work and dedication from all our students!!

Thanks to Dan & Gordon , working hard putting everything together!!

It has been hard work for all the performers, I can see the pain and tiredness from their eyes, many MANY hours of hard work and physically taxing labour, yet they had pulled through and created an amazing show, waiting to be showcased to the WHOLE WORLD!!

 

As of all my shows, you can expect lots of special effects... and LEDS!!

 These are just the very small tip of the iceberg, lots more special effects are in this item, look out for it at the telecast of the opening ceremony!

Mr. Low Ee Chiang, an experienced and well-respected choreographer, helped us with some of our ideas. Mr. Low had choreographed items in almost all the major events in Singapore! National Day Parades, Chingay Parades, Youth Olympic opening etc. You name, he's done it! 

Lots of thanks to Mr. Low!

I wanted to experience what the students had to go through... 

It was indeed tough and physically taxing, but the students persevered and did a great job!

To everybody involved in ASEAN ONE,

You are my heroes!! From the bottom of my heart, thank you very much!!

With Love,

- Kiki Tay
