This was an amazing journey that I never knew how it would turn out when I decided to be part of this Creative Commons musical “What If” movement by ikibook, lending my only talents in capturing priceless moments, documenting, writing down the stories and adventures through my eyes, photographs, heart and soul.

Taking photographs at some of the rehearsals, preparations, behind the scenes, to the actual musical performance and post performance celebrations, I am now able to continue my second part of my story telling from my earlier article that I published. A short video on the making of the “What If” musical can be viewed here on the ikibook FB page produced by Wai Hong who was part of this group of amazing talented creatives, on both back end (video) and artistic performance!

Accomplishing a musical performance in less than a month time frame, with a group of people from such diverse backgrounds and experiences is no feat at all. Kudos to Iris, founder of ikibook, the person behind the “What If” musical. To each and every creative talented individual who stepped up and be a part of this “What If” musical, you all have created a history, a legacy in the world today!

On the actual day of the “What If” musical performance, with a few hiccups and delays, the “What If” musical was presented to all those present at Campus Party Singapore, it was beautiful and magical, from nothing at the start to creating a legacy. I hope my photographs do justice to all the amazing performances by all the talented creatives involved in this musical!

Thank you each and every one of you talented and creative individuals, allowing me to capture down priceless moments in history and to be part of this “What If” musical. Check out some of the photographs that I shot during the “What If” musical rehearsals, behind the scenes and actual performance inside this Flickr photo album!

Upon the successful completion of this special and unique Creative Commons “What If” musical, this term What If still lingers inside me, probably everytime, I asked myself …

What If … I did not join in and be a part of this “What If” musical journey?

What If … I took up my studies in creative arts, writing and photography?

What If … I did not make a huge decision to step up and start own my photography business?

What If … I can write and publish my own books in travel adventures, photo books?

What If … this group of us can create a legacy for the world to see?

What If … you can do something to make a difference in the world today?

What If … I can produce a zine on the “What If” musical ?

There are many “What Ifs” in life today for everyone of us … What if you can take the first step and do something that you really wanted in life today?

What is so special and unique about it? First and foremost, this is the world’s first ever Creative Commons musical, “What If” presented by ikibook. The “What If” musical is a crowd sourced, organic collaboration with heartlanders (our everyday folks), talented and creative musicians, dancers, artists, singers, perfomers. A complete collaboration that unites creative and talented folks from different walks of life, coming together to create a legacy in the creative, music, peformance and artistic world, based on something unheard of in most, if not all industries, a Creative Commons musical.

Who is ikibook? What do they do?

The founder of ikibook, Iris Koh, a music director, songwriter and entrepreneur shares the reasons behind this musical. “It is one of my bucket lists to write a musical one day, but the thought of writing it is very daunting. So instead of writing it myself, I thought, what if I could put songwriters, playwrights, actors, musicians and dancers together and with everyone’s input and creativity we could begin writing this musical and let it take on a life of its own?”

I found ikibook at Tech In Asia Singapore 2018, I discovered and knew more about them and what they do. Thereafter, I wrote briefly about ikibook in my earlier articles that I published on my photography/travel website/blog and personal/technology website/blog. After Tech in Asia Singapore 2018, I attended ikibook events at their office and slowly got to know more about what they do.

Then came an email out of the blue, on an open call to participate and be a part of the world’s first ever Creative Commons musical. I went and listend to their pitch and decided to join in as a photographer (behind the scenes, rehearsals, musical performance). Personally, working on Creative Commons is something I know about yet I do not implement, since I work on All Rights Reserved due to the commerical and professional aspects of my photography business.

During the past week, I managed to attend two of their rehearsals, capturing photographs behinds the scenes of their rehearsals and preparation. The amount of talent and creativity is beyond my imagination, a gathering of creative and talented individuals,  who may not even know each other in the first place, creating a musical within a month! The singing, the dancing, the musical performance, the play, you have to watch it, to believe that it is entirely possible for the creative industry to produce a Creative Commons musical.

For now, I would only share some behind the scenes, rehearsal photographs. Keep a lookout as I cover Campus Party Singapore and ikibook on my Twitter, Facebook Page and Instagram, leading up to the “What If” musical performance on Sunday 8^thJuly 2018.
