Learning Log 4

On 13 April 2011, my classmates did a performance for Macbeth Act 1 Scene 1, which will be graded for Mid-year exam. My group, which consisted of Yuet Yan and Mui Siew, was the first to perform. I was rather nervous because I've never acted in front of the audience before. Imagine me imitating the voice of a witch! Although it did not went as smoothly as I thought it would, I was rather satisfied with our performance. For a beginner like me, it wasn't a bad start. Since me and Mui Siew were busy preparing for SYF competition which is just around the corner, we did not have time to rehearse for the performance. Therefore, we met up for 10 minutes on Tuesday during recess to discuss. In the meantime, we have to prepare the props, costumes, music and memorising the script. Initially, we did not have any idea as to what props to use, but I decided to make a background which depicted a lightning instead of using the computer.

I love how the other groups performed especially Liang Wei, Theophania, and Dawn's group. They were fantastic and close to perfection. Liang Wei and Theophania's group's sense of humour made me laugh my head off! All in all, I enjoyed myself although there's a need for improvement for me.
