Today’s lecture is quite interesting than always because for the first time we are ask to work in pairs and perform a text of drama in front of the class. What has made the activity much more exciting is the fact that we can create our own characters and situation in which the character is in. Some pairs had come up with a lot of unique ideas in performing and a team has also performed with three persons instead of two but still their performance is good and understandable. I believe that the fewer stage directions in the text have given more room for the actor to form their own characteristics based on their comprehension regarding the line itself. It is such a surprise that we can do a lot of experimentations with a simple text even. We as the actors can interpret the text with our view regarding the matter but it is crucial for the actors to consider and follow the stage directions stated in it.

i agree with what you said about stage direction. yes it is crucial to consider the stage direction, not only for the actor but also for the audience.
stage direction could give many input about a play, it is where audience could look at the dynamic of the play, no matter character of setting. a stage direction also gives signal of a transition of time, and it is important for he audience to closely examine the stage direction in order to get to the gist of the play.
and me too, i really enjoy the moment of having ourself to freely create our own character in the class.
there was where i realized,,i'm not a creative-minded person. sigh... i wonder if i make a play, would anybody comes and watch it? hikhik.. ;)
Dear Miss Hamizah…
I totally agree with you that the activity, I might say the role play is a very interesting activity. We as the students of EDU 3217 Teaching the Language of Drama, can really understand and practice the way to act. Different students might come up with different act, and it is really enjoyable. It enhances the creativeness in the students way of act. So that, I really hope that in the future, we might have given a lot more chances to practice ourselves and try to put ourselves in the situation. Hope that you agree with my opinion. Thanks =)
