Learning Log 7

For the Romeo & Juliet performance, I think that I did ok, though I could have been fiercer playing as Tybalt. For the group, I think they co-ordinated well during the performance and we did quite well. No one forgot their lines or did something wrong and everyone got their mood right. Although there were problems about rehearsals and costumes. Sometimes, our members could not make it for rehearsals but everyone try their best to come for rehearsals and made the best out of it, even if it means coming after their CCAs and staying late into the evening to rehearse. Everyone co-operated to get their costumes right also. All the members contributed to the opinions of the props we were gonna use too. Everyone has put their heart and soul into the performance and each and everyone of us had contributed something. Some even gave up family outings and gatherings for this, so it is a really big sacrifice. Everyone also helped do the huge backdrop. But there were crisises before the performance. We almost had no time to decorate the chairs and table, our backdrop collapsed halfway through another group's show but we managed to fixed it in time before it was our turn to perform. But our director, Dawn, was so nervous she was in tears before the performance. Everyone went out to take a breather and calm ourselves before the performance and we managed to pull through. We spent over ten hours just for ten minutes of that performance but it was all worth it. I strongly recommend this to the next few batches as they can learn a lot from this although it may require a lot of work. Through this, you can not only understand literature better, you also get to bond with your friends and have fun while rehearsing. It was a tiring process but I enjoyed it because I went through it with my friends.
