War Horse – a beast of a production

Keira — Fri, 18 May 2012 04:41:15 +0000

"...It’s said post-modern media glorifies war, but War Horse, while a glorious production, is really just a simple story about a boy and his love for his horse...this is a story about the tragedy of war to the simple and fundamental things in life represented by Albert and Joey. And it’s this take that makes War Horse a distinctive story, and a must-see production." [Review of Mirvish Production's War Horse @ The Princess of Wales Theatre, Toronto, Canada - 11 May 2012.]

"...Unlike my friend, my inner monologues are far too loud to silence on my Twitter, LinkedIn and Facebook profiles, but the good thing is they are all having different conversations. While all my social media pages are active and genuine, each has their own personality based on the personality of the medium." [Outburst post about my different personalities on my my different social media profiles, such as @KeiraWong, the slack, gum-chewing media intern.]

"...Just as a student may surpass the teacher, a support act may outperform the headliner...Brooklyn band, DIIV, showed itself to be the exact opposite of its moniker in the basement of The Shop at Parts and Labor. Unfortunately, headliner Frankie Rose, taught us the definition of ‘taking a dive'."

"...Building my business network was more difficult than building my social network. The power of referral, recommendation, and risk is a trifecta greater than the power of a resume, cover letter and job searching skill." [Outburst gush post about my thoughts on establishing your roots, and realising it.]

The Internet and the Second Persona

"...Social networking is evolving at an incredible rate, however it appears to be evolving faster than we're able to adapt to it. Like Europe before the introduction of manners and chivalry, we're at an undeveloped stage: all stuck interacting with lots of different people, but metaphorically puking in the streets and headbutting strangers."

"...Unlike other campaigns of other preachy institutions that prove the more they try to convince you of their point the more they make the point of why you are unconvinced in the first place." [Praising post about Be Veg Canada's Be Compassionate campaign that shows the power of great marketing and use of words. And in stark contrast to PETA campaigns, my media antithesis!]
