Play the whole drama scene

First of all, we practiced act 4 & 5 for the rehearsal. Then we showed to Mrs. Sam the whole drama scene continuously from the very beginning of the act, to the end. The rehearsal was far from satisfactory, since it crosses the time boundary limit of 15 minutes, and our group members were not prepared in memorizing the lines. With only 1 more English lesson left, we are going to practice our best for the play, and memorizing the lines.

10 May

We did another drama rehearsal. This time, we did a rehearsal for act 3 to act 5, where I played as the nurse, who told Romeo about Juliet's death. So far, our group have not make any necessary improvement for the play. We have not memorizing the lines fluently, and still lack of expression. There are still a lot of things to to fix/practice for the drama, and for the actions.

Play Rehearsal, Act 1 & 2

Today we're rehearsing act 1 & act 2 play, where I'm playing as the nurse's character, the supporting character, and as the narrator. In act 1, Romeo meets Juliet for the first time and fell in love with each other. While in act 2, Romeo sneaked into Capulet's orchard, to meet Juliet. The rehearsal was not quite satisfying, since my group members have not memorize most of the lines, and lack of expression. but with more practice and rehearsal, we aim for a better play.

Fixing the final script

Last night, on 4 May, I fixed the final script for the last time. I just include some narration lines, to describe the different parts of the scenes, and to comprehend the action parts, just to make the script more understandable and detailed. Finally, the script get printed and distributed for each members of the group. Before started to practice the script, we organized and compiled the musics for the play first.

Learning the lines

After reducing the lines in the script, I started to practice my character's lines for the play. The characters I'm going to play for the drama includes the nurse, narrator, and lady Capulet. Then, besides practicing the lines, I also started to organize the musics for the performance, and compile it altogether with Bibil and Bryna. We choose the right music's mood according to every different tragedies, to dramatize the play.

May 3

We did a rehearsal for the script altogether, this time we did it properly, although we did not time it. In order to improve the play, we should have more recent practice, and more expressive dialogues, to make the play seems more natural and expressive. Meanwhile, the script needed to be fixed, and cut some unnecessary parts, so the play would meet the time's expectation of 12 minutes. I'm cutting most of the lines in act  2 and act 5, especially the balcony part where Romeo was talking with Juliet, since it has way too long and unnecessary parts in the act 2.

Reading the script altogether

We're doing our first drama rehearsal altogether, and read the whole script altogether, according to our own characters. Our group members are limited, which only 5 of us. So each of us must play for at least 2 or 3 characters for the play. For myself, I'm playing the characters of the nurse, lady capulet, and the prince. Our first play rehearsal did not work very smooth, with the total timed play of 17 minutes, since we have not read the whole script appropriately. In order to reduce the time, into 15 minutes at least, we need a whole lot of another drama practice, so that the drama would have work better. I am trying to practice my characters' lines of the nurse, prince, and the lady capulet, so that I would have speak more fluently for the real play. While for the narrator part, I wouldn't need to memorize the lines, since I can just read the lines from the paper.
