Final act. Clown: The Confession of a Teenage Clown

Before the closing, let us give the audiences some laughs, shall we? *I always wanna say that

To be honest, I can be little bit (actually more crazy) sometimes. I have crazy thoughts sometimes, especially if I'm with my friends. :)
In this world, why so serious? Laugh out Loud ~ Just enjoy the colors and the love of your life especially if you guys are teenagers. Be yourselves!

inspiration:
- my inner craziness
- hair manual curler *I don't know what it's called XD

Act 4. Acrobatic (?): Flying Gracefully

I've seen this acrobatic shows for so many times. The performers seemed like they were flying. They were very graceful but yet have a strong power. The blue color was inspired by the lighting system during the show. :)

Act 3. Mime: The Mind of an Amateur Mime

Long time ago, when I was probably 9 or 10 years old, I watched "Dexter's Laboratory" which was aired in Cartoon Network and I saw DiDi, Dex's big sist, trying to be a mime by asking Dex "Am I inside or outside the box?" and showing her hand movement just like she was inside the box. And yes people, this experience is my inspiration

Act 2. Ballerina: Ambitious to Reach the Top = Frustration

I describe myself as an ambitious person. I always try my best to reach the top and win even though I won't get or even have the 1st place price. But, that's not always a good thing. It's frustrating. The most frustrating thing is that I can't stop doing things too serious. I almost couldn't enjoy my life. My life because my ambition is complicated.

Just like this design. It's complicated, just like a fan, never flat. Once it goes down, it always goes up again, never care what happen, always have thoughts that are unnecessary to be think of and makes things worse (ex: stress). The red represents the frustrating feelings that I have. The top of the skirt is reaching for the top.

This feeling reminds me of "Black Swan". Natalie Portman's role as a very ambitious ballerina wants to get the role of the white swan. Because of her ambitious attitude, she turns herself into a black swan.
So that is why I made this feeling of mine as a ballerina, just like Natalie's role.

Inspiration:
- my feeling
- Black Swan (movie)
- for the skirt, is this (Fan Palm)

Act 1. Magician: Almost There

7th January, 2011

I had love him for almost 5 months. It was sucks. I just wanted to focus on my studying. But in the end, I ended up loving him without being with him. That was heartbreaking.

So in the end, I TOLD him about my feelings through him. Well, I just wanna made this feelings disappeared.
He replied like this, "To be honest with you Lyd, I loved someone before I started studying here and after I started studying here. But, my dad doesn't allow me to date, and I found that at some point, he was right. I'm sorry that I broke your heart. and I'm glad and always be your best friend."

Even though that hurt my feelings little. I was glad that my feelings about him had gone. But still,...


9th January, 2011
But still, I didn't want to see him. I didn't want to be sad. I just wanted to be a blind girl to him.


Day by day, he was still close to me. Even until now. It was this close *tini tiny close* to winning. But, it was useless. I still love him. :(

I just remembered about a magician who was wrapped by "karung goni" and belts. She was almost there, there to released herself for reaching a greater freedom. But, it was a failure.

My inspirations about this design are:
- a Magician trick with "karung goni" and belts
- my feelings
- the almost-broken-belt came from the almost-broken-belt that I found in the school yard during "Kerja Bakti"

CARNAVAL - Before the show: Hidden Beauty
