Session # 16
Attended by:11 participants
Report written by: Fatima Salman
Today was our first big rehearsal of the play. In the audience
were parents of some of the members. We were all excited as well as nervous, quickly
revising our lines with each other before the play began.
The play went very well. A couple of characters were unable
to come today, because they were ill. But overall, the performance was a lot
better than the previous times. Maybe it was even because we were conscious of
people watching us. We did the play twice, the second time, it was video
recorded too. Then the (video of) play was shown to us. Most people didn’t like
seeing themselves on the screen, but as everyone was saying, it’ll help us
improve, Insha Allah.
The costume and backdrop designer came today, and she took
the sizes of the characters and planned the backdrops.
Some of the children will meet again this week, on a day
decided, for extra rehearsals. The whole audience was very happy with the play
and they enjoyed watching it, giving each person advice and tips for
improvement.
Sounds exciting! That's a great way to improve and give confidence! How did your role go, Fatima? I don't remember if I asked or not already, but will there be a home task in the meantime before you perform the real act? Can't wait to hear more! :D
ReplyDeleteMy role went good, I guess, I just didn't like seeing myself in the video that we recorded. I practice by recording my voice and listening to it again to see where I can improve.
DeleteAnd yes, there will be more home tasks in the meantime, Some questions will be shared soon to research and reflect upon.
Yeah, I can relate to that. It's great your role went well though! Good idea. Sounds awesome! I can't wait! x3
