4. Week 1 Drama Class – 11 May 09 Monday

I was quite nervous at first since this my very first time attending drama class. The class was held at Block E Level 3.29.

6.30pm: Short introduction session
There were some new faces, so we had to introduce ourselves again since they did not come for the MCG orientation.

7.00pm: warm up and basic stretching
I didn’t know that drama class also had to do stretching. I can say that I have the most flexible body in the class, which shocked the others.

7.30pm: 1st lesson, vocal & pitch
I had to learn to portray my voice from my diaphragm by practicing A, E, I, O, U, So that the audience can hear my voice loud and clear.

8.00pm: drama games
One of the games that I had to play was “Guess what I am doing?” we had to sit in a circle, one of us will try to act doing something by using sign language, non-verbal and the others will try to guess it. It was fun.

9.00pm: small skit
We had to split into 2 groups. Each group need to use their creativity to create a short and simple skit that gives a message in it. My group decided to do 7 princesses and a prince with his gay partner. The story was about 7 princesses were kidnapped by a wicked witch and the prince supposed to rescue the princesses but end up the gay partner did. The message behind it was that “Don’t judge the book by its cover”.

10.00pm: HOME SWEET HOME
