Happy birthday to Michael!

As much as we do not want to believe it, it is true. Michael Jackson left this world June 25, 2009 at the age of 50. Instead of making 2010 another year of mourning and gloom, let’s make it a year of healing and giving back.

Dreamwalker believes music and dance can create a meaningful life as a medium for bringing the world as one. It’s our turn to learn from the best and follow his steps.

No matter you can dance or not, young or... not so young, Michael always reminds us how to shine yourself by dreams. The 52nd birthday of “The King of Pop” is coming. Let’s celebrate and pay tribute to our dearest Michael. Express your love by dancing and bring cheer to the community.

The Event will be held on August 29th 2010.Come and join us!

Life is short. L.O.V.E Now

Dear Michael Jackson Fans,


Life is short. L.O.V.E Now

For the whole day on 23rd August the rain was like tears from heaven. I am deeply saddened when I heard about the news. Eight Hong Kong tourists were dead in the bloody end to the seizure of a tour bus in Manila by a disgruntled ex-police inspector, who at last was also killed when officers stormed the vehicle.

What a terrible shock that must have been! I wish to offer our deepest condolences to the families of the victims. As a HK MJ fan, we know that life is short and fragile, so please L O V E now! As a Hong Kong Michael Jackson fans, we should unite as one for blessing the affected families.

Here is a special way to show our love. The final charity performance on 28th August is coming, let’s make it as a love giving day. All the participants will wear an armband tied around his/her right around halfway between the shoulder and the elbow.

Each of us can be an extension of Michael Jackson and his spirit. Remember what he said, “In a world filled with hate, we must still dare to hope. In a world filled with anger, we must still dare to comfort.”

Keep MJ alive Give children a chance

828讓MJ精神不滅 給貧困小孩希望

724第二次義演已順利完成,籌得的款額累積至今,已突破2 萬元。若按照救助兒童會的中國救助項目,鞋子一雙50元的話,則可以買到400對鞋,幫助400個家庭的兒童步上夢想大道!為了更發揮MJ力量,以及在他 生日時送上一份特別禮物,Dreamwalker將於828最後一次義演,讓更多人一齊參加,過一個別具意義的暑假。

有人問︰為何會在觀塘區義演?
因為MJ說,要到貧窮的地方去,關心有需要的人, Heal the world都有得唱。關心世界由關心社區開始,其實觀塘區貧窮狀況是全港最惡劣,當中有3,600多個綜援戶,是全港最多綜援戶地區。(新聞︰http://smartedu.singtao.com/yesterday/loc/0324ao11.html)

商場是聚集各階層市民的地方,而且這區有不少新移民或年輕家庭,推著嬰兒車的途人隨處可見,Dreamwalker希望用跳舞及唱歌去將MJ精神鼓勵他們。

有人問︰舞者捐款要多少?
捐 款多少隨心,不設限制。Dreamwalker認為捐款背後那種犧牲精神才最重要。有人捐一元,但那已是他的全部,有人捐1萬,但那可能是他擁有的一小部 份,最重要是問自己,我犧牲了甚麼,也要把那些錢變成捐款支持中國小孩?這筆錢對我有何重要意義?(MJ告訴你何謂金錢的意義︰詩集《Dancing the dream》:The boy and the pillow)

Keep MJ alive Give children a chance

Our second fund-raising charity show on July 24 was a successful blast. Together with our first show in June, we have received a cumulative sum of over 20,000HKD. Using the scale from Save The Children of buying a pair of shoes per 50HKD raised, the amount we received can purchase 400 pairs of shoes, which means we can help 400 children in remote China by sending them the shoes so that they will not need to walk to school barefoot anymore.

To continue Michael Jackson’s spirit, and also as a special gift for his birthday, Dreamwalker will have our final charity show on August 28. This will be a wonderful and meaningful way to spend your summer, so please do not hesitate to participate!

Question: Why are our 3 charity shows performed in Kwun Tong?
Michael Jackson once said, go to the poorer areas, reach and care for those who are in need; you can see the same idea in his “Heal the World”.
We must start from our very own community before reaching out to the wide world. In fact, the Kwun Tong district suffers from serious poverty: there are 3,600 families receiving government subsidies of Comprehensive Social Security Assistance, which is the top district with the most families living under government subsidies. (News source: http://smartedu.singtao.com/yesterday/loc/0324ao11.html)

The mall is a place where people from all classes gather. There are also a significant number of new immigrants from Mainland China and young population, Dreamwalker wishes to encourage and show them Michael Jackson’s spirit and also our care through our charitable acts of singing and dancing.

Question: How much are participants required to donate?
Donation is completely unrestricted with no maximum and minimum limits. Dreamwalker emphasizes on the sacrificial spirit behind the donation, not the donation itself.

One donates maybe a dollar, but that already is all he/she has; one may donate ten thousand, but that can be only a very small portion he/she owns. Most importantly, ask yourself, ask what you have sacrifice to donate in order to help and support the children under severe poverty in remote China, and ask yourself what this money means to you and them.
(MJ’s book of poems tells you what money means: Dancing the dream :The boy and the pillow)

724義演片段重溫



特別鳴謝Charles

鮮為人知的故事︰米高的使命



去年《This Is It》即將作全球上映前,演唱會及電影製作總監奧爾特加(Kenny Ortega)的一段訪問,反映了米高為何如此堅持要將音樂帶到世界每個角落,當中有一個重要目標,亦是他鮮為人知的一面。

奧爾特加曾為米高「危險」、「歷史」世界巡迴演出擔任拍攝工作,二人共事超過10年。他回憶在「歷史」世界巡回演出時去到東歐某城市,「當我們步出機倉,我問米高︰想回酒店還是去孤兒院?米高立即回答說,要去孤兒院探訪孤兒,而不是回酒店休息。」

「當他去到孤兒院時,我記得他當時到處視察孩子的生活環境及設施,那裡的情況非常……非常糟糕(pretty grim),我看到他不停與身邊某些職員耳語,然後到處走,跟小孩交流。」後來奧爾特加才知道,米高與身邊人員不斷耳語說的話:「在明天前,這個孤兒院需要得到徹底改善。」

「這裡將會有到更多新床、新床單,會有更多照顧孩子的工作人員。」米高更說︰「在這些安排沒有做完前,我是不會登台演出的!」奧爾特加還記得,米高探訪羅馬尼亞孤兒院時,在24小時內大大改善孤兒院的環境設施,「這是另一件我永遠都會記得的事」。

「米高擁有一顆寬大的心,他真的熱切關心如何改善人們生活,特別是孩子的景況。這是他的其中一個使命。為何他會舉辦世界巡演?就是每到達一個城市,他永遠都最先想到可以為這個城市做些甚麼。當他離開的時候,那城市變得比以前更好了。有多少人會談到這些,又有多少人可以真正做到呢?」奧爾特加說。

724再次義演 籌款突破2萬元

上周六進行第二次義演,籌得的款額累積至今已突破2萬元。若按照內地救助項目,用來買鞋子,則可以賣到400對鞋,幫助400個家庭的孩子步上夢想大道!一眾跳舞成員落力表演,當然亦多了新朋友參加拍攝及義賣工作,令活動得以順利舉行。先帶大家看一看舞台後的點滴先:)

為了有更好表演,當天上午10時多,10多名成員把握時間在紅磡的體育館作最後綵排,然後浩浩蕩蕩的去觀塘街頭派傳單。

成員Arnold、德和Tom Ma專注地在舞蹈室練習。

要在猛烈陽光下派完400張傳單,少些體能和意志也不行!Dreamwalker成員一邊派一邊不斷流汗,但沒有輕言放棄,在個多小時裡完成任務,呼籲街上途人支持活動。回到商場準備時,有成員累得小睡片刻。

時間很快到6:30,式活動正式開始!去相~~~

嘩~~~係超人?係雀仔?!通通都不是,原來是畫面播出世界各地的MJ Fans 跳舞片段,搶去現場觀眾目光,Andrew的剪輯片段令現場牽起首個高潮,接住當然就係跳舞!

來張大合照先:)

未夠喉?!不要緊。8月我們將於28日(星期六)於下午在觀塘apm商場表演,希望大家繼續支持Dreamwalker的義演活動,累積更多力量,幫MJ延續關愛小孩的心願。到時見啦 :)
