Fantasia by Escriba ~~ filled with sugar and sweetness

An event centered around sugary sweetness ^^ ~~ what is there not to like?? ~~ I got to be a part of Fantasia by Escriba ~ a sweets x theatre event ~~the event was quite cool actually ~~ cause I don't think I ever saw something like this before ~~the moment i walk into the place all i could smell was chocolate and more chocolate 0.0 ~~ and it was mainly because of the huge chocolate fountain.

At first, I went for the casting~~ I thought it was the worst casting i ever attended >.< ~~ they gave a brief introduction about the event and about Escriba ~~ then they said something about there are looking for either a cleaner who is clumsy & funny or a chimpanzee ~~ i was a bit confused cause like this kind of casting is very different from those that i normally go to ~~ i think i did not very well cause went to prance around and eat imaginary banana ... Yes i did >.< ~~ the person say "actually chimpanzee don't do much" ... i was like ._. ... oookkaaayy ~~ anyway long story short i thought i did not very well cause i was clear of what was needed of me ~~ but in the end i still got casted so thats good ^^ ~~ for the cleaner role

^^

It was a pretty cool opportunity too ~~ I got to work with really talented people from Spain and let me say they are really really good !! When they were doing stretches and warm up, wow they are so flexible 0.0 ~~ i guess some of them does acrobatics so its usual for them ~~ but i have never seen it before so i though it was really awesome ~~ but the reason why i really like this was because there was no set routine for this ~~ i practically did it however i wanted ~~ and i realize i really do like performance with human interactions ~~ not only you can get energy from the audience ~~ it is interesting to see how different people would react too ~~ but i did divert from what the needed performance was ~~ cause the cleaner role turns out to be like a really bored person and like didnt want to do their job kind of person ~~ and it was relatively low in energy ~~ so i kind of went out of my performance space and into the audience ~~ Im glad i did it if not it would be so boring for ._. ~ and the one time when i went out one of the audience actually gave me the choc lip lollipop ~~ i was so touched :') ~~ thank you miss kind lady ~~ whoever you are ^^

♥♥♥

I think the whole exhibition was split into 5 areas if I remember correctly ~ there was a dream area ~ and an animal area and the theater place and the cake place (where I am) and i guess the streets area ~~ haha but I expected it to be bigger though and more like a fantasy world ~~ At first when you enter it did feel like a fantasy world ~~ but after the animal world ~~ i felt that the magic was gone ~~ the place was filled with mini performances and stuff made up of chocolates ~~ there were cakes on display too ~~ and while you travel around the place there are food stations where you can get food from ^^ ~~ the food was hit & miss haha ~~ the chocolate hotdog was supposedly a famous attraction ~~ but i personally >.< do not like it at all ~~ it was my least favourite food ~~ my most favorite food was the egg thingy and also the chocolate ham with olive oil !! ~~ i really really like them !!!! ♥

FFFOOOOoOoOOOODDDD

I have 2 tickets to the show so i could invite two people to come for one of the shows ~~ In the end only eehui went haha ~~ let me say ~~ to be going for an event that you are working on and people recognize you is the best thing ever !! ~~ I get to  have more food than i supposedly suppose to have and also i dont have to queue up for food ^^ ~~ hahaha so eehui could eat everything in that place when we suppose to only be able to eat 3 food ~~

Oooohhh ~~ and i made her get a balloon too so both of us got a balloon from the balloon blowing moon ^^ !! and i did tell the actors before hand that i wanted a balloon and to give me one when i went on the stage haha !! and then i made eehui to go up on stage to get one too hehe ^^ ~ and after trading with a very nice lady ~ i ended up with a pink balloon and eehui ended  up with a green one !!

Tadah ~ the entrance !!

And after we walk though the whole place, we went to the kids activity corner cause there was nothing else to do anymore ~~ and another awesome thing for working there ~~ by right we aren't suppose to do the thing at all but then because of my crew pass and asking ~~ they let us do it ^^ ~~ The activity was to decorate a cookie with some food gel pens ~ i think the pens was like chocolate and strawberry and something else >< ~~ i forget and i ate the cookie before i could take a pic of it ><~~ cause the gel icing thing taste sooooooo goooood tooo !!! Oops .~. ~~

Hehehe candid shot
I think it was a good shot too ^^

In general, i thought this was a pretty good experience ~ the director Joan Font said i was really good ^^ ~~ and that was awesome ~~ he kept showing me the thumbs up and he tried to speak in english haha and his action was really cute ~~ it was great to be able to work with him ^^ ~~ and also Escriba also gave me thumbs up haha !! Great accomplishment !! ^^ And also his lovely assistant Antonella who translated things for Joan and she was really very nice too ^^ ~~ and also all the other performers that i had a great time playing with ^^

Joan Font & Antonella ^^

And to add ~~ haiz ~~ i also feel so helpless about it ~~ at 1st during the event i thought the sg employee side was quite unprofessional with the handling of us. Firstly, the meeting was scheduled quite last minute and i had to starve during rehearsals cause the timing was not told to us properly and also we spend a long time waiting and i wasn't told about this beforehand ~~ i mean i understand the waiting and stuff but just that it would be better if they informed us 1st about the schedule >,< ~~ and the most important part .... I am probably not getting paid for this ~~ which is very stupid cause i was suppose to get $600 for this ~~ and $600 is A LOT of money to me >.< ~~ it may not be very significant for the rest cause they have jobs and stuff and i dont >< ~~ and i really do need the money ~~ they say the company is insolvent and that you know ..... they dont reply my emails nor do they answer my calls ._. ~~ this is really not right and im typing this in November when the event ended in august ~~ anyway there is not much i can do about it too ~~ i emailed but if they dont pay ~~ then what to do ~~ i like the experience but the company in the singapore side is really ._. ~~ seriously ~~ and i dont believe that what the emails are saying too ~~ at 1st saying that they are ready to mail out the cheque ~~ next they say that they cannot pay us cause they have too much creditors ~~ seriously ._. ~~ haiz ~~ i really need the money >.< -end rant- *shake head

But i do hope there are similar event next time that i can participate in ~~ with more responsible management ~~ cause this event was fun while it lasted !! ^^

XOXO, Hugs & Kisses
