As Chen Bo zheng said, singapore actors/actresses are
not dumb, why is there a need to rehearse so many times before
playing the set.
IS KIA-SU-ism as a result of excellence in sinagapore's system
and the love of comparison that leads to such common scenario.
We rehearse and rehearse again, as though the winds of
excellence follow every where we go.
Is such a system too much for our own good? Is excellence too
much of a left-brained dominated perspective of looking at
education nowadays?
Are we mindlessly coping scripts after scripts, or the system of
regurgitating lecture notes ( students know what i mean) that we
sometimes, forget that there is like a forgotten need to accomodate
what we once children had called dreams and aspirations. in class,
we should pehaps allow students to have their own time, and ponder,
and daydream like they could once did in ease as a child. After
all, its their own life and the inherent dream each and every one
of us had before as a child should not be neglected or held more
important than the society''s designed path for you.
Or in the case of media, isn''t it important for self-expression
instead of just rehearsing scripts over scripts. I feel in this
culture of excellence (that was deemed right and thus instilled in
us since young) may have neglected the need for radiant thinking,
otherwise known as creative thinking.
below posted is a website by a spiritual master on the benefit
of true silence with daydreaming in action.
