Importance Of Drama

813 Words4 Pages

Introduction
Drama or play could be defined as a kind of activity, in which students portray themselves in an imaginary situation (Holden, 1982 as cited in Chukueggu, 2012). In this respect, drama can be used as a break from the typical and boring class. Drama is used in the classroom widely nowadays since teacher would be able to integrate the teaching of English Language in the classroom. In Malaysian context, drama can be used as a platform for the young learners to practice English language in a more natural environment.

Under the Language Art subject, we were able to stage a play entitled ‘Tinkle, the Fairy’ written by none other than my talented friend, Ishwaar Singh. This play is about a fairy that appeared …show more content…

Based on our play project, I have made reflection on the strength aspects. One of them is the value of cooperation. There are only nineteen of us and most of us need to act on the stage so we have double roles. As for example, I played as the King Midas’s mother as well as the costume committee. Even though I have double work, but with my other friends’ help and cooperation, I was able to get through the packed schedule successfully. My scene was very short but I know I must bring impact to the whole play. It was hard for me express the joy of a mother that changed to normal after being turned to gold, but with the guidance from my lecturers and my other teammates, I am able to portray the character better with every practice. Not only that, on the real day itself, the audience response boost up my confidence on the stage to give out my best. From this project, I realised without the cooperation between the committees, a successful play would be out of reached.
Everything in ‘Tinkle the Fairy’ from the setting, costumes, props involves the element of fantasy. In my point of view, what stands out most in our play is the Malaysian’s costumes that we have modified to suit the fantasy element. When it comes to learning language, I know as a teacher I should plan any activity creatively and critically. We are aware that

    Oxford dictionary defines the word “play” in relation to theatre as “a dramatic composition which is represented or performed in a theatrical performance or film” .

    The cast of the play are unaware of the audience, however, the audience is able to listen to dialogue that occurs throughout the theater, whether it is in the headsets between technicians, on stage between the actors playing their characters in the play and between the director and actors who make adjustments when necessary. The third fourth wall was at its edge of breaking, where the audience is almost unable to tell whether what they are experiencing is real or not. As an observer of the rehearsal of this play, this wall was broken when I understood that what I was watching was a rehersal of a play, of a rehearsal of a play. It was difficult to describe or understand when the cast of 10 out of 12 were actually in or out of character. The complexity of this play lies in the use of metatheatre, which has been exploited to its fullest extent

The “No Pass, No Play” rule is quite clear to understand: if a student is failing a class they are unable to participate in extracurriculars for three weeks. If they do not raise their grade by then, this treatment continues. This rule takes opportunities away from the future of our country: the students.

  • The Importance Of Conflicts In Romeo And Juliet

    In reference to the bold statements of the younglings throughout the play, Romeo and Juliet, it could be said that they were willing to ‘risk it all’, despite the circumstances they were under. These two lovers, being described as “star-crossed”, propelled the storyline in a way that was facile for conflicts to form, all of which were a result of their forbidden love (Prologue 5). Over the short course of time during the period in which their story had taken place, Shakespeare asserted the impression that all these conflicts were caused by a cruel overwhelming fate, sheer accident, and by their own willfulness. All these facets of the plot coalesced and attributed to the bringing about of Romeo and Juliet’s untimely and unfortunate death.
