So, yup. The form two kids took over the entire drama! Majority of the participants were my students from various classes, and most of them were boys as the script required male actors more than female...and 'cause the boys loved doing fighting scenes (= ________ =')
I was pretty 'military' during the whole rehearsal (2/12 days worth of rehearsal). At first, the leader from the Drama Club took the job of being the director, but somehow, she disappeared half-way through the process. I dunno, she had to be the MC of the ceremony or something of the sort and just left everything hanging for us to take care of (probably since she knew that we'd come for the rehearsal everyday)
So, this week, our afternoons and nights were filled with DRAMA~~!
I was mainly the one yelling, "drama team, come up here!", "don't turn your back to the audience!", "where're the Brit soldiers?!" etc etc. And we took care of the audio and visual for the background (I used to do it for our group's performance in KMS so it was fine)
The kids again, were pretty creative. They suggested different things to spice up the script. They even suggested an additional scene! And it worked. They asked if they could do this and that, and they performed! I have to say, if it wasn't for the kids, the whole thing would've flopped.
The boys were pretty exceptional in the acting part, but the girls were quite hard to shape. There were only two scenes involving the girls and they hardly need to speak at all but they were so stiff and shy!!! But, I guess that's a given. The fact that they managed to shout out the lines were already something to be proud of (^ u ^)
And throughout the entire process, I was able to get to know the kids more and vice versa. They saw me out of class, they were able to interact with me in bahasa. So, it was nice.
And the most important thing is, THEY DID A DAYM GOOD JOB!!
We got a lot of praises from the other teachers for it. And we have no other than the kids to be thankful to.
the lads~
and the ladies~
