backstage: an actor prepares...
Hope you guys don't mind if I post a shot or two from the festival. Of course, my camera clicked when it had the time. 2 pictures stood out in particular. Here's Anne, my fellow Malaysian actor who was getting some make-up tips from our wardrobe mistress. We thought it was funny that she needed tips having been an actor for what seems like a century but the moment we heard Anne was getting tips from Pauline, all of us ran into the women's dressing room and started teasing Anne about it.
We really had some precious moments backstage. Thank heavens for the architects and contractors who had the common sense of having thick walls put up. The audience would've wondered where the sound of cackling was coming from every night. We were great onstage. However, we were a hooting riot off it!

This is stunning! It would make a great photo for a reportage about the festival. And a beautiful portrait as well!
Please be sure to stop by my blog and take part in the competition...
Welcome back 'luva boy', glad to see you back, missed you
I'm fascinated by theatre, great post.
Good shot are viewed better in big size. Your last pic has a strong human touch. We are all actors in this scenary called life.
Greetings from Perú
I feel like a broken record, but again this is a wonderful shot! I do hope you will post more pictures from the festival and tell us allll about it!!
Skin tones and shades of blue are clear and vivid.
Loving only beautiful shots and being an amateur, I can only say the usual compliments! ha ha... But yes, the colours are so real in this shot of yours. Makes it seems as if I was right there!
Thanks for dropping by http://ugwugvisualwords.blogspot.com
Yeah, the sky was lovely as there was a moon out that night. Here's another shot with the moon,not as sharp though. http://ugwug.blogspot.com/2006/08/avillion-port-dickson.html
The sky even more drama!
There's a real sense of life from your shots Edwin. Your trip seems to have enervated you!
FUN!!!!!!!! Wish I was part of that hooting riot...we always need an excuse to par-tay right? Can't wait to see your next masterpiece Mr. ED! =P
It is good to know about your work as an artist. Maybe because of the actor inside you, you're so good at depicting characters in your photographs. This backstage picture is spontaneous and tells a a story, that's what I like most.
I love the curve of her fingers.
The reflexion is perfect !
Anne has a very 'artistic'face.
Leo brother, you captured a nice moment, and only an actress/actor would have that ease...in fact, the composition is great!
what are you doing now, catching up on day 2 x 100 blogs?
Hey Edwin! Looks like you really enjoyed the performance there ;)
Tiger, a true winner, this one!
Welcome back Edwin! Hope you had fun!
As always, you have a great way of capturing people, its like your invisible and able to catch intimate moments. Well, not "intimate", but you know what I mean! :)
I've stage managed a couple shows in community theater (really small place), and I remember always having to go in the dressing room to hush up the talkative actors. So, speaking for your stage managers.... SHHHHHHHH!!!!!!
I'm glad to hear that you enjoy your work so much. It's just too funny about the ultra thick walls!
Lovely shot of Anne. It seems like something you would see in National Geographic on the life of an actor...
Backstage is a whole other show, isn't it!
Seating in the 5th row at the Drama Centre, is not as good as viewing the nice pictures taken here of Anne. ;-)
Wow! Bloody hell! thanks for the great comments on Anne's picture!
neorelix: enervated? really? you sure? ;)
stewart: this tiger keeps on going!
annie: yeah, I've always wanted members of the audience to come backstage just to see the antics. It's such a colourful world behind the curtain.
keropokman: you really enjoyed the show didn't you? well, I'm enjoying your photoblog too!
jugs: yeah...i know what you mean. words sometimes get in the way, you know what I mean?
lisi: I have another 1000 shots to catch up on :)
selana: I told Anne your comment. She's quite tickled by it.
carlos: you visit when you can. no pressure my friend. whenever you are able to comment, it does brighten the day a little more (how's that for pressure?) ;)
