Good Job!

Dear Dramafest pple...

Good efforts for the performance today. We, however, need to modify some scenes to make it better. For now, at least you guys have a feel of the stage and you'll need to figure your positioning when you are acting. Be aware and be alert as you might need to respond depending on your peer's reaction etc etc.

Props wise... there were many hiccups.
Eg. Mom did not take back the feather duster, Jin did not remove his clothes from scene and mat etc. Forgot to place the props at the correct positions, forgot where the props were at, lost of props like stick and holey shoe!!!!! etc etc. (Bad!)

The Drama Club will be helping us to make some props for the set up: Namely, the beanstalk so that you can really climb it using a ladder, Giant's house so that we can stick the sweets on literally and pluck from it, modify the hawker stalls and improve its colour.

I need all your costumes modified too. Only brightly coloured clothes pls. So if you have something really dull coloured and drab, pls have it changed. Multicoloured t shirts for different pple. It'll be looking like a real fairy tale land.

Acting...
Eg 1. Mom forgot lines at the sweet picking part... forgot that you are supposed to bring cow to Jin at stage front, not call him to the back. Mom supposed to do exaggerated skirt pulling up when climbing and also forgot your exits. Can be bigger in actions and louder in voice.

Eg 2. Jin always forgetting your positions on stage and moving towards the sides. Supposed to turn while sleeping. Forgot to place sweets on stage left. Looking v lost at some points. Clothes were not thrown out.

Eg 3. Market pple at 2nd time out, passerbys enter first!!! Wrong. Always let hawkers out first.
Go back think of your lines and practice aloud. I need to be able to hear you and the buzzing sounds of the market.

Pple with no costumes, I need you to see me with them on monday. Complete set.

Note: There will be another run at the Auditorium next friday. All to be present. Full dress rehearsal at Jubilee Hall on 17th and 18th April. You'll be excused from CCA, pls inform your teachers and parents. Stage at Jubilee Hall is bigger than the stage we have at the Audi.

Ok .... TGIF again!!!!
Yippeee... remember, practice practice practice.
Have a great weekend.
