♥ Learning Log 7
Learning Log 7
Like what Mrs Woo said before our performance, the Romeo And Juliet play that we have to act out will be either be a sweet memory for some or a screwed experience that some do not want to be reminded of.
The Romeo And Juliet taught me a lot of things, especially how important it is to have good communication within a group so that misunderstanding would not happen. It was good experience anyways in spite of how nerve-wrecking it was to wait for our turn to perform which was recorded and seen by our fellow schoolmates. However, with the cheering and motivation given by them, I finally mustered up my courage to act with confidence. :)
Even though my group was the first to perform, we did it our best and it went smoothly, thankfully. Some of us forgot out lines but that was fine though, since all of us are merely humans. We had a golden opportunity to watch 2 Commitment's performances and I personally think that Group 1 from that class was the best performance I have ever seen. It was unique - both the costumes and setting - and the students acted in the play like they have done that for a long time. Our class did a fabulous job too, especially Group 3 . They were very engrossed in their acting and express the same feelings their characters were in their play, despite sometimes they forgot their lines.
I have learnt to never underestimate small roles as sometimes, small roles did more actions and appearance more than the main characters. We also need the right expressions and tone of voice so that we can evoke the same feelings Shakespeare felt when he wrote the Romeo and Juliet script. It looks easy but it took a lot of time, practice and hard work to make it all happen. :)
I recommend my juniors to do their own performance so that they will know how expressive poems, sonnets and many more are in Literature and this would also help them know each other well, especially when they are in the same class . :D
