Genesis Camp - Week 1

Genesis Camp Week 1
10-16Dec
CFA Studios

Exams are doooooooone~
And what comes next? Of course the fun and exciting GENESIS CAMP!

Every year in Dec, almost all our CFA groups participate in this camp in one way or another, so that they can practise for the upcoming NUS Arts Festival, and more importantly, interact and get to know more about each other - both within and beyond their groups!

During this one week, groups not only had their own intensive practices, but also attended mass workshops with other groups, and the informal CFA Nite to showcase their talents.

Already missing those days staying up with friends in halls though the practice ended at 12am? Or the mass walk to Fong Seng for supper after your rehearsal?

Here are some of the highlights!

WORKSHOPS

Wondering why were our guys washing their faces in the Auditorium?

Nope~ they were just learning the correct way to remove makeup/clensing during the Make-up Workshop for Music Groups!

The groups sent out reps to thank Mdm Normah (The lady in white) for conducting this workshop.


On the next day, all the groups gathered again to attend the Film Appreciation Workshop, conducted by Mr. Kelvin Sng.
I'm sure now we know how to appreciate films in other aspects, other than the storyline and hunks/beauties!

RANDOM SHOTS

It was Dance Synergy's Dinner Time!

Seems like our tall Symphony Orchestra President is still very young at heart!

Although Choir did not organize any overnight/day-camps, they still practised regularly.

Wondering why some members from Harmonica Orchestra were always seen practising non-stop!? You'll find out soon!

Symphony Orchestra had a Conducting workshop, taught by their very own Resident Conductor, Mr Lim Soon Lee!

We can see that conducting is really far from easy!

Many were eager to learn and try~

CFA NITE

The informal CFA Nite kicked start with a nice Jazzy intro!

A cute collaboration item by Symphony String and Wind ensemble & Dance Syergy (Sorry, the dancers moved too fast and we didn't manage to capture their faces...)

Some nice Christmas carols by the NUSHO committee, specially for CFA Nite! That's why they were also practising during lunch/dinner break!

Although Rondalla was not under this week's camp, they came to perform at CFA Nite!

A collaboration item by reps from Harmonica Orchestra and Rondalla~
They seemed to be very focus...

Although Piano Ensemble did not perform, they did a very good job in introducing what Piano Ensemble really does.

Some more Christmas carols by the choir, who were busy preparing hard for their annual "Sing-till-you-can't-talk" massive carollings around Singapore!

nuSTUDIOS is really serious in what they do! Even a "somehow-not-working" projector switched them into red-alert mode immediately!

But of course, everything went smoothly, they showcased two short and interesting films shot and edited during their Film School earlier this semester. Jazz Band also collaborated with them with a live background music add-on enhancement! (Sorry, everyone was totally engaged in the movie + live background music that no one took any photos!)

A piano solo by Piano Ensemble VP, Kelvin - he played the romantic Chinese tune "The moon represents my heart". Together with...

...the junior dancers from Dance Synergy! Their moves and the umbrellas fit in so well with the song~



And then... how can a good event ends without...



FOOD!

*Breathe in*

The curry puffs, the steamed Soon Kueh, the satay, the fried Bee Hoon...

Everyone was hungry!
Note: Why CFA did not order dessert!!??

Sigh... That's what happened when an CFA alumnus becomes a CFA Staff.

Everyone would bully her!

Check out the Santarina Babes of the night!

Left to Right - Farid, SiaoMing and Yeda from Symphony Orchestra!

Seems like dancers are always happy without eating much!

But they ate LOTS of Éclairs!
Note: Yeah, Éclairs were finished tooooooo fast that they couldn't be captured on camera.

Ta-daaa~

Here we are - the CFA staff, who made this Genesis Camp possible! (Ignore the guy without Santa hats at the back)

... and of course, Siew Ling!

(Yes, ignore the big-size Santarina again)
