Imagination
Like everyone else, when I was a kid, I had a lot of imagination, to fly like a bird, to go to outer space and to visit a distance star.
I couldn’t remember when I could not imagine any more, but one day when I looked back, I found that the space craft had already existed, that left me much less room for imagination. And my mind was also filling up with boringness, anxiousness and working pressure.
[1’10”]
But suddenly I found that others still had imagination and it was so beautiful.
That was when my kids were watching Tom and Jerry, the cartoon. You know, when Tom chases Jerry and crashes into the wall, he creates a hole in the shape of himself. That is a good imagination about the power of the hit.
When Tom is smashed by a closing door, he becomes a tapestry hanging on the wall. A couple of minutes later he crumples down to the ground and becomes alive again. That is an imagination about the strength of the action and the reaction.
I felt overjoyed with the cartoons. The wonderful feeling brought by imagination came back to me again.
[2’30”]
With my imagination, I presented a song called Fairytale on the stage this way,
First, the singer and his girl friend evolve a lot of subtle emotions like happy, sad, and pain. That is because the singer loves the girl deeply and always tries everything to make her happy, but the girl, though loves him as well, always feels sad and doubts that their consequence are good.
[3’30”]
Then from the middle of the song, the guy cries out, with his dreams he tries to show her a bright future and the good consequences of them.
To create such an atmosphere, a prop piano, a symbol of romance, opens into two halves and coming out is a male dancer wearing a pair of wings and stuns the audience into silence. The dancer, representing the singer in his dreamful future, dances the future with the girl. The agile, quick and beautiful movements like jump, lift show the audience in modern ballet vocabulary about love, support, trust and promise. The audience see that the dancer opens his arms turning to wings to guard her, the audience see their happiness and joyfulness, and the audience see the blissful consequence at the end just like a prince and a princess in a fairytale.
It was a touching moment when the singer’s imagination, his dream was presented on the stage by our imagination.
[5’30”]
Can you as an audience imagine how you would feel if you see them fly away above the stage at the end of the song? Wow! Fantastic! I’m moved! It’s a miracle! How can they fly?
How? It is creative and full of imagination. Behind a prop mountain is a lever, a big one. When they walk to and step on one end, they are raised up. With dry ice and a big fan blowing, the audience see them fly above the mountain and it is very breathtaking.
Plot, carry out and present imagination with imagination, that makes me really moved and I am really eager to see how you present yours.
