News: The Vagina Monologues


"Cunt Talk Now!"

Was one of the play's great sentence about vaginas.

Eve Ensler's famous Vagina Monologue play, which is being performed all over the world and which has been changing and renewing its monologue, finally got to Singapore where i was chosen to sound design the play. I felt it as being a great opportunity and biggest pleasure i could have been given (next to composing a full season of a TV show for kids, of course). From the 2nd to the 4th of March 2006 a group of NUS students decided to organise this play to as a charity to:
  • Unifem Singapore
  • Aware
  • V-Day
My jobscope was to sound design the play and do some VO for special effects. Although most of the casts were beginners, i must say, that at the last performance, they really did improve quite a bit. This is also due to the director, Loretta Tan, who is an amazing and really creative person.

Working with her was really interesting, because she not only gave me the chance to work at a play, but she also gave me a few new views on career options, which i am greatly thankful.
One thing that really made me happy, was to hear from the cast and of a few form the audience, that they not only liked the soundtracks, but some were wondering from which movie or soundtrack 2 particular songs came from. They obviously really liked my composed songs "Purpose" and "Shut Up, The Song", that i composed for the short film of Lisa Cunico "Decay" (2005). It really made my day and it also made me see that i do have potential in this line of work.

Besides that, if the paly comes to one of your hometown, go watch it! It is entertaining and funny, yet dramatic and shows you the real world in a new perspective.

Well done to everyone!! =)
