However, it has entered the beginning of a new decade with something unprecedented &#8211; a hybrid fiesta. This fiesta, which showcased\u00a0 17 different arts and cultural co-curricular activities (CCAs), took place both online and offline, from May 17 to May 28. The theme of NP Arts Fiesta 2022 was \u2018Metamorphosis (a complete change)\u2019.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cWe need to be more adaptable to the evolving changes. It can be overwhelming, but you [know you] can see the light at the end of the tunnel,\u201d says Mr John Lee, the advisor of NP\u2019s Student Development Office (SDO) and the lead for this year\u2019s Arts Fiesta on how the theme was selected. The SDO hopes that this will serve as a reminder to students on how \u201ccourage\u201d and \u201cperseverance\u201d has trained them to \u201cbecome mentally stronger\u201d and thus \u201cable to push forward\u201d regardless of the challenges ahead.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>With Singapore leaving the maelstrom of the global pandemic not too long ago, our lives have just regained a semblance of normalcy. The Covid-19 experience has profoundly shaped students into a tough bunch who are <\/span><span>more<\/span><span> adaptable, creative, and opportunistic.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Kornchanok Dionne Ong Qianrong, 18, the president of NP Strings, mentioned that \u201cadjusting to the relaxations in time\u201d was one of the obstacles she faced during the preparation for the concert.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cWe originally planned for a livestream concert. Thus, when we changed to a live performance, a whole bunch of factors that needed to be coordinated kicked in such as ticketing, et cetera,\u201d she says.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>This year, CCAs had the privilege to choose whether they would prefer to showcase their work virtually or physically. NP\u2019s Chinese Drama Club, for example, did both live and pre-recorded shows.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Goh Hui Teng, Sheryl, 19,\u00a0 president and producer for this year\u2019s Arts Fiesta\u2019s, says: \u201cWe used to do stage plays; the pre-recorded micro-film we did this year was actually a first for our club\u2026 .\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>After all the hard work that the students have put in, practising for events that might not have been allowed to take place, it must have been a great relief when their events actually went live.

I have never expected such a large turn up especially after a long break from the pandemic,\u201d says Kornchanok.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Art has the ability to connect people, hence without a shadow of doubt, the audience plays a significant part. Drama clubs, specifically, require audience participation to accomplish their performances and that is the privilege of live shows.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to Sheryl of Chinese Drama Club, the members were trained for situations where they forgot to place props on the stage or where actors took extra steps and missed the spotlight position. The training did not stop there, as they also learnt something through engaging with the audience.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWhat we were not prepared for was the audience laughing. So there were a few scenes that we thought were funny, but the audience did not laugh, [and] it was kind of worrying. Then suddenly, at a random part, they started laughing, [which] almost caused our own actors to laugh onstage,\u201d says Sheryl.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another part of having a live experience is the curtain call, it always leaves a lasting impression amongst the students. For Sheryl, the curtain call served as a recognition for her hard work.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cBecause I was the producer, I appeared [on stage towards] the end, right before our instructor.

Edna Pang, 19, the president of D3 Contemporary Dance Club, was able to get closer to her fellow dance mates whom she had previously never spoken to before. This helped her see what a dance community truly was about and how one can learn from others.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI remember the moment the live show ended, we all huddled in a huge circle and started jumping up and down in celebration.
