Easter Presentation '09

Welcome to the unofficial New Life Christian Community Events website.

We thought for a bit in regards to how to establish a communication that would not exert much pressure and will be easily accessible at any time by everyone. The purpose of this website is to make news easily accessible when organizing events say, the upcoming Easter camp.
No exception, Easter is coming up early April and as you all would have heard, the team is organizing a presentation the Friday week before the camp event and we're going to have the chance of bringing the reality of Christ to the stage. This is going to be the update page of our much explosive presentation.

Much love,
the nlcc//event. team

date line: 37 days to go and counting..

great practice today everyone. we're so blessed to have commitment from each one of you.

angels, you're doing an awesome job. over the next few weeks, we will just have to keep practicing to make sure that you all know the dance so well you could almost do it in your sleep. by the end of this month, we can get each one of you to do it yourself and you wont have any issues, right!?!? ^___^ don't forget to get neutral tights for the next practice.

demons, keep working on looking evil/angry/aggressive and not happy. you guys were good today, considering it was your first time, unless im mistaken.

cosmeticians, maybe over the next fortnight, come up with a general idea of what you plan to do. perhaps, even do a sketch for the demons and angels so we can get the gist of what you're thinking for each group respectively.

props, it looks like banner and rocks for the stage setting will be organised upon return from indonesia and singapore.

lastly
PRACTICE THIS SUNDAY AFTERNOON! 1PM FOR ANGELS. 130PM FOR EVERYONE ELSE. REMIND ONE ANOTHER AND KEEP EACH OTHER ACCOUNTABLE.

if any questions, post a comment or just come right up to us. we are more than willing to listen. ^____^

AND ALSO A WORD...

Just want to say some things before I leave:

events//nlcc. team
I would need someone to help check out the lightings through the uncles of our church. That’s one thing I completely forgot about. I’ve also pass Pastor Anne the receipt which was used for angel material costs. She mentioned that this goes through Aunty Sue so find out how much the church is willing to subsidize from Aunty Sue. Money needs to proceed to Nam Ju. Also it may be more effective on the practice if you guys get together really quickly planning about what to do for each upcoming practices cuts the time everyone spends STARTING to think what to do. But this again is up to you =] Bear in mind every paragraph of the script goes really fast so you don’t have to do everything. The very least is to have one practice every week together angels and demons. If much repetitive practice is required, you can have either demons practicing while the angels watching offstage to give feedbacks. FEEDBACKS are EPIC important ie. Aaron your face is not ugly enough… or you don’t move around demon-like… or you’re out of time in the angel dance. That sort of stuff.

Stage & Cosmetic Props.
So far I received an update by Rowan that the banner Christy planned to use for the word “Jesus” was not enough in width. Rowan suggested we use another material that has enough length/width stored somewhere in church. Chances are it could be the white material draping behind the end of the sanctuary protecting the sound sheets. He mentioned that he’d confirm the materials availability for use and will get into preparing that as soon as he returns from Indonesia approximately the 10th of March.

The Rest of the Play
“Then Satan cringed, the sinners groaned! The demons reeled in pain as a swell of power like silent thunder rolled” – cringe - fawn: show submission or fear. Remember this is an introduction of Jesus coming into play. Maybe have the center ready, or an angel field ready for the coming of Jesus onto the stage I don’t know ask around see what people have to say :/

Everything else in the play is very self-explanatory. Easily you guys can come up with something. However the events//nlcc. team has also come up with some cool ideas leading towards the end of the show including demons scattering in different directions and a majestic ending. It’s pretty cool I must say =)

Arigato!
These are the things I remembered off the top of my head. Practice together and keep the unity! Friendship shouldn’t be jeopardized during the course of the play because the purpose of the play is to introduce the redemptive power of Jesus to the congregation and an increase in the upcoming Easter Camp. This is just another way of reaching out to people, exactly like drinking coffee with them after YAF has finished! Have fun! I’ll check this website when I’m in Singapore so keep using it!

No other agenda but love,

A

One Step forward.

Hey guys! Here’s a really brief update on the situation.

God the Father: Stig
Angels: Jane, Alison, Christy, Fish, Joy, Yuki
Jesus: Henry
Demons: David (Panda) Liu Lo , Tim. G, Lawrence, Rowan, Jim, Kevin
Satan: William Pham!


Warm welcome to William Pham! He will be acting as ‘Satan’.

Wen, Yan Tao, Gracelia are offering their assistance to Rowan in stage designs. Please contact him through for updates on this topic.

The angels are meeting at church this Friday 20th February 2009 to work out the dance parts for the play. This will be done under the leadership of Jane/Alison.

Shout out to Nam Ju for designing and preparing the angel costumes in a very short time. Thank her when you’ve got a chance! =]

The play is happening early April which falls on the regular Friday YAF night. The arrangement of the night will be: Praise/Worship session, clearing of the stage, Easter Presentation, finishing off with the Word or a testimony.

Advance notice: Henry and myself will be absent from the 28th of February to the 18th of March for the mission trip to Indonesia & the G12 Conference. Stig & Rowan will be absent from the 28th of February till approximately 10th of March returning from the Indonesian mission trip. Lawrence & Su Pei both will be absent 10th of March to 17th of the same month for the G12 Conference held in Singapore.

What’s this mean? The Easter Presentation team has about 1 week and a half of fine tuning to get it right before we hit stage.

Satan + Demon practice? The parts for the demons are quite simple: so I’m looking into demons and angels getting together sometime next week.

We have confirmation with Pastor Anne and yes, we will be getting a smoke machine to set the atmosphere of the play. Thanks to Su Pei for investigating the different machines and prices!

We have looked into getting a live video feed of our presentation to the projector that. May have a cameraman on stage doing recordings.

By the way, if possible try have the last week of March free - preferably Wednesday & Sunday nights (maybe Saturday night too). We’ll have a full costume presentation and will be getting everyone to come. Stage & Cosmetics and Props. Team are to be there to organize and see how much time (fast/well) and what to do before & on stage prior to actual performance.

This is the availability received. This availability is largely based on everyone’s current schedule and is subject to change after several weeks. Any changes or updates please leave a comment here. Practices will be organized to the best of everyone’s availability:-

· Lawrence – All days throughout; but nights dependent on his casual work.

· Alison – Monday & Thursday (daytime), Tuesday & Wednesday (whole).

· Jane – All days besides Saturday nights.

· Christy – All days (during holidays).

· Fish – Friday daytime.

· Yuki – Not free only on Wednesdays after 5pm.

· Wen – Wednesday & Saturday nights after 7pm.

· Yan Tao – Saturday afternoons.

· Gracelia – Saturday afternoons.

· Rowan – Anytime.

· Aaron – Monday to Friday (daytime)

I will definitely need the ‘after holidays’ schedule so please leave it a comment or email me the times.

How is the banner ‘Jesus the Champion’ coming along Christy/Joy?

Lastly, if you have questions leave a comment or please approach the nlcc//events. team members Henry, Jane, Alison, Rowan Su Pei or myself! We absolutely love to hear from you personally and will take your questions and concerns seriously! In God we trust, this presentation will go off with a BANG!

Take care crew.

Right, here's the update!

The events//nlcc. team had a rather productive Wednesday brain-storming session and have pretty much a good idea what the actors will do on stage. So, a big shout out of thanks to Jane, Alison, Rowan & Henry for coming out with some rather creative ideas in a short period of time.

First things first; we've decided to have girls/boys separated to either angels or demons. The events//nlcc. team have nominated the following:

God the Father: Stig
Angels: Jane, Alison, Christy, Fish, Joy, Yuki
Jesus: Henry
Demons: David (Panda) Liu Lo , Tim. G, Lawrence, Rowan, Jim, Kevin
Satan: Aaron


It is understood several people such as Wen, Yan Tao, Gracelia are not involved with the acting on stage. If you would like to act please inform either myself or specifically Jane/Alison. Decision was based on the availability for practice as well. So until practice commences which won't be for a week or so, the nominated people above aren't finalized yet unless we confirmed the status of ALL contributing in help.

Cosmetics and Props.

events//nlcc. team has suggested having lights to provide 'holy' and 'extravagant' atmosphere for say, when God the Father Himself comes on stage. There was some floor spotlights brought by one of our church uncles used in miracle encounter and we were considering using that.

We've decided on having like a banner on stage with the words written 'Jesus the Champion' on it. It's believed that the church still has some black cloth from the last event, and instead of just exposing those words 'Jesus the Champion' on the organ like we did in Christmas for 'Emmanuel'. We plan to tie up the cloth, and have the banner holding balloons (which is hidden from the congregation). Towards the end of the presentation we'll release it and it'd be so cool having balloons falling over! And so, we would need people to help pin/glue/sew those words 'Jesus the Champion' onto the black cloth. It was suggested that the letters be silver & gold, and that we’ll get Nam Ju to help out in this area. Overall: banner + balloons, right!

Props for 3 out of the team of 6 angels are required as well. We'll need a ribbon, sword and bow & arrow. The teams of angels are required to wear all white and maybe some flowers for showing 'grace' and 'beauty'.

Demons, which are acted by the guys, wear black pants and black shirt (not polo). Your face will be beautified by power cosmetic tools and all are going to have spiked and messed up their hair using gel.

Jesus, robe and if possible, a sash on Him. I believe Jane mentioned that Sam has a robe that we could possibly use for Henry.

Stig reassured us that God the Father will dress up suited for his role.

The Play
Okay, now you guys probably noticed that I haven't mentioned what you'll be doing on stage. We would have to run through the audio to everyone and have each part explained thoroughly to everyone as a whole, while showing it to you on stage.

The angels will be doing 3 simple angelic acts/dances: a slow one, a synchronized one used for battle and one for the ending of the story. The events//nlcc. team are looking into these dance parts. Once it's been finalized, we're ready for practice. The highlight of the ending of this play is that the angels are going to individually exalt Jesus and conclude with them bowing and worshipping Him in adoration (man this was so cool when Alison showed it to us! haha)

Summary
Besides the dances for the angels (specific dances with moves and everything all finalized), everything else is all ready to go! Literally! The demons have the luxury of just prowling around and trying to intimidate the angels and themselves and finally running off scared of the resurrection of Jesus. So props we need are:

· Banner with ‘Jesus the Champion’ in silver & gold colour.

· Balloons

· Flowers for angels (ie. For their hair)

· Robe for Henry

· Dress code we’ll worry more about that closing to the time of performance.

Note: Those who aren’t acting we’d really appreciate if you could help out with the props there’s just quite a bit to do and consider! Also, we may have a brief update meeting this week again. Thanks peoples!

events//nlcc. team are meeting Wednesday 5/02/09 again 3.15pm in church sanctuary. Bring your angel dance ideas there thanks!

Questions, inquiries!?
