In 2013, I was luckily chosen to join a Singapore-Macau collaboration for the 24th Macau Arts Festival. During that time, I had a wonderful experience working with Heng Leun (慶亮), Drama Box - the Singapore company, and Wan Ching (婉婧).
The next year, in 2014, when Dirks first launched the 'Theatre Workshop' series, we invited Wan Ching to come to Macau and hold a Viewpoint workshop for us. Shin Rock was introduced to us by her then. And at the same period Sinéad was invited too to share her knowledge of Biomechanics with us. Both of them encountered the high temperature and humidity of Macau for their first time.
Two years later, after Sinéad's second visit to Macau, with her precious experience on Michael Chekhov's technique on Acting, we talked (or dreamt) about possibilities of working together in the future.
Finally, after proposing for the second time, Night Just Before the Forests was chosen to take part in the 29th Macau Arts Festival. With the idea of having five performers with different nationalities and genders, Tai Yin (泰然) becomes our new friend.
Sometimes I wonder what brings us together. Chance? Luck? Network? Or, the efforts that each of us had made to stay in/with theatre?
The photo above was taken on our first day of rehearsal, the first circle we formed in the space.
