Trim the heart strings.
Half of my Heart
//I was born in the arms of imaginary friends free to roam, made a home out of everywhere I've been then you come crashing in, like the realest thing trying my best to understand all that your love can bring oh half of my heart's got a grip on the situation half of my heart takes time half of my heart's got a right mind to tell you that I can't keep loving you (can't keep loving you) oh, with half of my heart
I was made to believe i'd never love somebody else
I made a plan, stay the man who can only love himself
lonely was the song I sang, 'til the day you came
Showing me another way and all that my love can bring
oh half of my heart's got a grip on the situation
half of my heart takes time
half of my heart's got a right mind to tell you
that I can't keep loving you (can't keep loving you)
oh, with half of my heart
with half of my heart
your faith is strong
but I can only fall short for so long
Down the road, later on
you will hate that I never gave more to you than half of my heart
but I can't stop loving you
I can't stop loving you [x3]
but I can't stop loving you with half of my...
half of my heart
half of my heart
half of my heart's got a real good imagination
half of my heart's got you
half of my heart's got a right mind to tell you
that half of my heart won't do
half of my heart is a shotgun wedding to a bride with a paper ring
And half of my heart is the part of a man who's never truly loved anything
half of my heart [x6] //
The Heart believes in Romance. The Mind believes in Logic. The Body believes in Sensations.
I want to get back to my love for the dramatic arts. There is so much jargon in my head. Articles, thesis-es & guidelines that define what theatre and arts means. In applied drama, dramatic tools are used to serve particular educational, social or therapeutic objectives – performance is not the objective. Yet, we can't let go of the notion of performance. I like to think of performance in its whole definition. Performance can mean, lights, camera, action with all that jazz. Performance could also be referred to as the measurable efficiency of a person in a certain role. Performance as a student would be the grades. GPa.
Singapore Polytechnic. School of Communications, Arts and Social Sciences. Diploma in Applied Drama and Psychology. The prided "Drama Practitioners" of the future. I personally believe that the people who undertake the path down this course, have pure intentions and want to do good for society. But the course structure, as a polytechnic curriculum - which is far from rooted in liberal arts, it skewers and twists the intentions of students. We end up being cut throat for project work and the grades take precedence over the meaning of the work. Groupings are still an issue. Honestly, IN THE WORK WE DO - you have problems working with people who want to eventually do the same work with you? Your colleagues? So what if we have all the dramatic theory within us? So what if we can explain Theatre of the Oppressed, Process Drama and Community Theatre with our eyes closed (and score an A for it)? So WHAT?
"the method was developed for the people, but the people are more important than the method." - Augusto Boal (I kinda paraphrased it the way I remembered it.)
So we have learnt the method, but we lost the people. DADP has that habit. Putting a grade to all the work we do as drama practitioners makes us lose the core that drove us in the first place. Naive people who believed that everything in the world follows a dogmatic tag of morals, have learnt that through drama you can accept people because fundamentally we are individuals with similarities. Then in an instant, they turn around and start judging those who sleep around and those who commit sins. Drama and the Bible are on two different dimensions all together. Believe in your dogma (the Bible) but practise the Drama, and you will not be swayed but be accepting of those who want to be accepted.
I personally find it hard to journal. A journal is suppose to be a track of your thoughts from day to day activities. But it usually turns out as a record of what happens throughout the day...and we have a programme sheet in a booklet. So at this point, this is a challenge to myself to keep my journal as concise and to the point as possible as a place of honest opinions and beliefs that may develop and change over time.
"If you have come here to help me, you are wasting your time.But if you have come because your liberation is bound up with mine, then let us work together." - Lilla Watson. (credits to Dr Christina Marin who shared it)
Truly one of the most relevant quotes in the work we do. I just felt that this is something I need to get down on. No one should walk into another person's life to "HELP" the other person without being willing to put him/herself on the line to help him/herself too. We are not Gods, we are people. I am scared of the work I do, but I want to have fun on it too.
