Indakan 2010

Even though I just sat on the carpeted stairs, I still enjoyed this year's Indakan.

Teatro Marikina was not really suited to house an audience as big as the student population of UP College of Engineering, so a lot of people had either stand up or sit on the aisle. I have already been to the venue once, when I was still in fourth year highschool. We watched the play "Ama" as part of the field trip.

The program started late due to the tardiness of the event's hosts, which enabled us who took the ES 13 exam to witness the whole competition.

Six teams participated in the pair category, while twelve organizations joined the group category. The theme was "Montage" where the teams would pick a musical movie and interpret the soundtrack through dance.

ALCHEMES was not represented in the pair category, since no one was willing to do so. The Isentropes chose Moulin Rouge, starring Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor, as their piece. Being the first ones to perform in that category, it was obvious that they were really nervous and lacked confidence in what they were doing. Sayang, maganda pa naman yung concept.

The numbers that really caught my (perhaps, everybody's) attention were the following: Across the Universe (KEM), Rent (Erg), Chicago (IE Club), and Sweeny Todd (CIEM). Hairspray by Cursor was also cute. Also, the pair entry of Circuit (they interpreted Blues Brothers) was quite amusing. I got disappointed with GE Club and the ones that performed Cheetah Girls: they looked highschool-ish and pathetic! And Eng'gSoc was pretty messed up too (they did Fame!).

KEM snatched back the championship, with IE Club sliding down to second place, and CIEM retained its third place. I'll still be searching for the winners in the pair category. Congratulations to the winners!

PS No Geminids for me :(
