volunteering experience
For toby's journey, it was held in Republic polytechnic black box and i was there to help with painting and building some set and props. During the day of the show i was front of house, i help with moving and setting up the fun corner for the kids to play around, i was also there to make sure that the kids don't get injured when playing and make sure they are safe.
For Chingay parade 2025 i volunteered to make some of the items in the parade, which include alot of painting and paper mache. We made some props for the float.
Singapore night festival at children museum. I volunteered in the lighting department so I go around the place and place the flood lights in specific spots to create the wanted mood and atmosphere, I also use a colored plastic item to cover the flood light so that the light will be a different color which was quite fun. I set up the poles that has fabfic on it and I wrap the LED lights around it and plug it into a socket outlet so that it lights up. I was also given the opportunity to witness up close and assist the staff in charge of the main event there the play, and he was controlling multiple light with his console which was quite a learning experience.
My team and I wrote a proposal and competed against the cohort and we were chosen so we have to produce the activity that we propose and needed to do budgeting, sourcing and building sets and source materials needed for our activity. We were also there to set up the exhibition and interact with the children there. At the end we did the debrief and tore down the exhibition together and transport them back to Republic polytechnic. Overall ,i learnt how to work in a team, budgeting, sourcing materials, presentations and an insight on how the industry work as i met some professionals in the industry
Shakesphere in the park was an event hosted by SRT, i volunteered and help set up the bean bags for the VIP section and also to usher people and give directions to the people attending the event. It was quite memorable as the play was very intense and exciting and i got to try ushering at a real professional event.
