Heard that “processing” is a very powerful and free Open Source (programming) language for artists/designers. Its developers from MIT said it could be used to do almost everything (check yourself in its official site http://www.processing.org/ ), so made me spend a few days to experiment with it and created this project, must give a special thank to these little Enoki Mushrooms. It’s a real time Audio Frequency Equalizer, Music Waveform Display, etc. In a word, if you input live music, these little mushrooms would dance instantly …

既然你們人類說，”processing“這套免費程式語言是專為藝術家/創作人/設計師而設的，我就拿它來玩幾天。當然還要多謝一班小金菇的幫忙。我這個小程式，其實是即時的Frequency Equalizer, waveform顯示…等等，簡單來說，只要輸入音樂，小金菇馬上便會跳起舞來。部份聰明的人類，有時也會發明些有用的東西來，大家可上processing的官方網址看看這套語言的功能 … 是外星生命體pinkwork™粉紅貓說的。

Just visited (or disturbed?) FireFire, Otto and Sita Chan ‘s theater “THE CHEAPY DOGS” rehearsal … FireFire (or Double Fire) is a multi-talented human beings who is a theater director/actor/radio host/ lyricist/columnist in HK… Last time I met him was two years ago, also during his theater rehearsal (I’m surprised they could still remember my phone no. and called me to take a visit this time).

FireFire partnered with Otto, a member of pop dance group EO2 to form “61 Production” in 2006. “The Cheapy Dogs” is just one of their latest self-invested theater plays.

In the short video below, you would sEE/hEAR them talking more about why they’re so into theater performance, that they would even invest their own money and time to produce a play.

粉紅貓剛到訪﹝還是騷擾了？﹞火火、Otto及陳僖儀的《 愛可以多狗 》舞台劇綵排 … 上次跟舞台劇導演/演員/電台節目主持/填詞人/專欄作家 ﹝不知還有沒有漏了其他身份？﹞~ 火火見面，應該是兩年前，是在他的《大世界》舞台劇綵排﹝很驚訝他們還記得我的手機號碼，幾天前叫我這隻貓上去「八掛」一下﹞。火火和跳舞組合EO2成員之一的Otto於06年組成「61製作」，而今次這套《愛可以多狗》，正是近期他們自資的另一套舞台劇。此劇的演員包括火火自己﹝當男主角呀﹞、歌手Sita陳僖儀、Otto、焦媛、商台DJ朱熏、細So等等。下面的小短片，你們會看/聽到他們說出，為何那麼喜愛舞台劇，還願意自己投資製作。

Otto表示當年成立「61製作」，是希望藉此機會跟火火學習演技，雖然他自覺幾年來進步未算很大。而Sita就是經理人PACO「掉」她進火火堆那邊，要她好好磨練演技。近年Site參與了不少火火的電影及劇場的演出，而她的很多歌曲的歌詞，也是由火火填詞的。「學習演技其實對唱歌也有幫助的，例如上台唱歌、表演時自信心會強很多。」Sita說。

演藝學院戲的劇學院畢業的火火，覺得最困難是自己同時身兼導演及演員，要導自己演的戲，身份有時會混淆。雖然Otto謙稱火火常取笑他是「零戲迫人」，完全不懂演戲。火火卻說因為「61製作」的出品一向比其他劇團嚴謹，經過幾套劇的磨練，Otto絕對上得台見人 … 想知更多「61製作」過往及現在的作品，可到他們的網站 ~  61production.com 。若想看看/聽聽兩年前火火在pinkwork城市的聲音及小短片，可按下面。
