Share your own past experience (if any) related to drama.

Hanis - I had participated in a drama festival when I was in highschool and we had to play 'Alice In Wonderland'. It was quite a long journey for us to prepare for everything. I think the hardest part in the drama was the depiction of emotion when we were performing because obviously we have to scrounge the lines that we had remembered but sometimes might forget. Although I was only portraying as the crew, the nerves in me were flying around when We didn't win the competition but we definitely had so much fun and gained so much experience.

Anis - My experience in drama was when I was in high school and PPISMP. In high school, I was in a play titled 'Red Riding Hood' and I played 'Mother'. It was a very stupendous first experience. In PPISMP, I played Juliet for the play of Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare. It was unfortunate that I could not perform this play in front of the primary school children because of the lockdown.

Izzati - I joined a drama performance back in high school. I played the 'step-mother'
in Cinderella. We did not have much participants per group so we had to adjust the storyline to the number of actresses. The drama was only for fun though so we did not have to actually spend much money on the props and the outfits. However, it was really fun because I got to do it with my bestfriends although I could not hold myself from laughing during the act.

Nasuha - I do not participate in any drama performance when I was in school because my school does not have a drama or acting club. The only drama I've ever done is in 2PPISMP where we had to do a play on Romeo and Juliet. My character was Lady Montague. Although Lady Montague does not have to portray any strong emotion or feeling, I still found it hard to convey the personality of the character. Then, I realised that acting is tough and require great skills.

Emelin - My own experience in drama at school is when i was in high school. I was part of English Motivational Committee and during English Week, we had to perform a drama and we choose Rapunzel. I remembered that we had to sew a few of shawl together to make it like Rapunzel's hair and when the actress wear it, its looks funny because we had to attach it to our neck not the head. Participating in the drama made me realized that every drama, the actor/ actress need to immerse in it or else the drama would not be interesting. So, the experience was so precious to me as I can try to act and portray a character that would be a new side of me.

Ainin - I honestly never got the chance to be in the drama club in school because it was always occupied and weren't accepting any new members. However, I grew up watching drama that my dad directed when he was a teacher back then. I would watch his students perform and practice everyday, I also witnessed how the crew set the stage, how the makeup artist reformed the actors and actresses into their designated characters. I saw their struggles to achieve that 'spot on' expression and intonation. It was such a surreal experience although I was just the daughter of the director. I loved the family bond the actors and actresses had and how they shared that with me too. From there, I grew up loving drama and I hope someday even if I don't get to act, I'd love to be a crew too.

During 2PPISMP, my class took Drama course and acted Romeo and Juliet. Although we did not get to perform it because of covid, the practices that I experienced were fun. There were some intense moments and disagreements but I learnt to consider others' opinions which made the drama even more meaningful. I took on the role as Benvolio and I gotta say, acting is definitely not as easy as it looks. Memorizing scripts are also a tough one but I did it anyways. It was a nice experience to be a part of a drama team and I would love to be part of it again someday.
Shima-When I was in form 3, our class did a play on Rumpelstiltskin. It was very fun and memorable. I got to play the character of the king. It was quite hard because at first I do not know how to portray a king's character, the kind where he is aloof yet brimed with dignity. However, with the help of my teacher, I can play the role even if it not that perfect. Another thing that I remember is that I have difficulties in speaking out the script because of nervousness. We had to act in front of the other classes so it was quite nerve-wrecking. I can remember the scripts well off-stage but when I was on stage, I suddenly gone blank. We had to start it all over again after that. It was quite a disaster but it was really fun. I like it a lot, acting.

Alif -  The only experience that I have for drama is the dramatisation of Romeo and Juliet where I was chosen to play a role as the father of Romeo. During the dramatisation, I have learned how difficult drama really is, and how important it is for us to work together and show a great teamwork. However, the experience only comes from the training and rehearsal as the actual dramatisation could not be perform due to circumstances.

Wong- In 2PPISMP, all TESL classes have a course that is TSLB 1064 Drama in English. We need to perform the drama in stage. The play that we performed was Shakespearean’ s literally work “Romeo and Juliet”. The character that I got in the play was Peter. It was a big challenge to me because Peter was a male character. Although we have no chance to act the drama on stanfe because of the pandemic, we still gain experince from it.

Iskandar - The only drama experience i've ever had was in 2PPISMP. Though the experience was cut short due to covid-19, the brief exposure gave me an insight regarding what is expected in a dramatization. The importance of voice projection, facial expression and rythm quickly made me realized that I lack most of the essentialities required to be an avid actor. However, the opportunity provided previously had opened my eyes to the criticality of drama and how drama can effectively be incorporated into my lessons to further motivate and attract my students.

Aqilah- It was a memorable experience during second semester of PPISMP when the TESL students had been assigned to perform a drama based on one of the legendary fictional story by Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet. Frankly speaking, I had never imagined myself standing on a stage, in front of many people, reading dialogue, and acting for a drama since I am not used to be exposed. But majoring TESL asked me to do otherwise. However, the drama experience was an enjoyable and pleasant episodes of my life at the campus. I realized that drama is extremely difficult to perform and require lots of skills.

Huda - During 2PPISMP, I was assigned as the director for my class Romeo and Juliet drama. It was tough for me as it was the first time in my life that i had to direct a play. Because of that, a lot of misunderstandings happened during our practice sessions and i honestly feel bad until now that I did not manage to prove to my team that I am a worthy leader. However, I still did my best to be fair to everyone and things eventually got better but we could not pertform the stage play due to COVID-19 pandemic.

Chew: In fact, I didn't have much experience in drama even though in my primary school or secondary school. I just got to know about drama when I was in 2PPISMP. So everything is new to me, my friends and I learn together during that sem. I found that voice projection is so much fun as it is also an important element in drama.

Natasha - Honestly, the only drama that I participated in was during 2PPISMP. We were assigned to do an adaptation of Romeo and Juliet play by William Shakespeare. I was assigned two minor characters which are Chief Watchmen and First Servant. The character, Chief Watchmen is someone who orders the Second and Third Watchman to search and arrest whoever they find at the graveyard. The watchmen appear to be an intelligent unit as they managed to arrest Balthasar and Friar Laurance. Hence, the Chief Watchmen testify to the Prince about the murder and suicide incident that happened in Verona. Moreover, I was in charge of managing the audio system. We have to arrange the music and the background sound effect according to the scenes. Through this experience, I realized that producing a drama requires lots of effort and skills.

Alia:
I do not have any experience in drama at school because my school does not active in drama and does not open any participation for the students to join drama competition. However, I am so glad to have the opportunity to participate in drama when I was in PPISMP. It was such a wonderful experience. Indeed, the process of making a drama is difficult, tiring and requires commitment from everyone but it teaches me a lot as a student, future teacher and a person.

Farah - In high school, I joined a drama competition and also had performed some acting on stage. I enjoyed it very much because it is so fun and it helps me to experience become other characters that are different from my own personality. There are some hard parts that I have to endure, but it was a really memorable experience.

Sofia - The only experience i have is during 2PISMP where our class did a play on Romeo and Juliet. I was assigned two minor roles. Looking back to it, I realise it was a fun and memorable experience even though it was difficult and took a lot of our outside of class time. Other than that, I just enjoy watching  theaters as i have watch a few of them since i join the SeTeGuH club. I love watching drama a lot.

Shakila - After I learn about the drama few semesters ago and got a chance to watch theater, i learn something new which is drama is not only about having loud voice all the time but also how you convey the right emotion with a clear voice.

Maisarah- I never got the chance to be in any drama clubs or even drama performances back in my high school. Maybe it is because of I am not qualified or I did not even try to be one but I still remember that I used to attend a lot of drama festivals as the audience and I really enjoy being the audience for the drama performance. It because of I can watch the whole performance and record some footages of the roleplay on the stage and post it on my social media with the #dramafestival. However, being the audience does not mean I am not learning anything as there was one time after the performance of ‘Cinderella’, audiences can join acting competition. So, I chose to act as the Prince Charming and it was so fun and less nerve-wrecking as I only performed it in class not on stage. I t was quite funny to act as a male but I enjoyed trying something different.  As I mentioned, maybe I did not learn that much but at least I got that precious experience.
Ayuni- Back in school, i had never participated in any dramatization so my first experience getting involve in dramatization was during 2PPISMP where we had the chance to do a play on Romeo and Juliet. It was a fun and memorable experience even though it was tiring and time consuming but it had taught me to trust the process and be a better person. I enjoyed the process of practicing for the play and preparing the props together with my classmates.

Nia: My very first experience when I was 14. Honestly, I joined the drama because I played a bet with my friend. Since I was a newbie, it is best for me to play the side character, so I played the nurse. It was tough for me to play this character because the nurse is very a friendly and happy-go-lucky person, who would give muffins for everyone yet, cannot tolerate arrogant patient (the main actress in the play). She is the type who talks clumsily but never daydreaming when the operation is being held. the duality of her characteristics was very tough for me to adapt but it was a very remarkable experience for me. The next year, after my seniors in the club graduated, I was trusted by the previous director to continue his legacy xD. In my school drama club culture, the one who directs is also the one who writes the script. So, this year, I took the responsibility to write a nature-themed drama. I wrote almost 60% of the script while the other senior and my teacher took care of the rest. This year, it was also tough for me to recruit new talents. Most of the participants did not have any experience playing for drama before. And to their surprise, their first roles are the animals' characters who talk. There, I played the role of a flower fairy, who is fond of a human girl although nature and the animals despise the existence of humankind because of their selfish act of deforestations. Again, I played the friendly character that year, but also protective of the human girl from the animals with the urge of killing humans. I also had to be persuasive to encourage the animals to befriend the girl. But in the end, we are betrayed as the girl grew up and became a selfish adult who decided to clear the forest where we lived for her business. It was tough for me too to play a depressed character who got betrayed by someone she used to care for and turns miserable after the lion king punished her for believing the girl too much. The biggest change of this character was tough for me to adapt to since I had to immerse myself in that character to convey the best emotions throughout the drama. Next year, I played the character of a bully victim who got bullied because of her obesity. This is also quite tough for me because I had to adjust my walking pace, wears a lot of thick clothes to create an obese version of me. even there were times I felt suffocated but I enjoyed the character so much! She was discriminated against for her size and decided to lose weight, which makes her bulimia. This character is quite tiring and so not like me at all, because she cries a lot, screams a lot, falls on the ground a lot, eats and throwing up a lot. In this play, I had to be defenceless and helpless which are very challenging for me because, in my real life, I just can't ignore people who talk back to me xD, it is very hard to hold back and suppress wrath. But at least, the lesson that I learnt from this character is that we must stand for ourselves against bullying. Next year which is the final year in my school, I wrote an adapted version of Sleeping Beauty. This version is more to revealing why Aurora has been cursed by the witches and why the witches didn't get invited to her birthday celebration. The reason is because the queen was poisoned, causing her to miscarriage and the maids (who became witches to revenge for His Majesty’s decision for firing them) who were in charge for lunch that day, were to be blamed. The one accused them was my character, also a maid in the castle who is a childhood friend of the queen, who held grudges against Her Majesty because Her Majesty turns into a boastful queen who refused to stay friends with me after marrying the King, because of the difference of their societal status, when in fact, she was also a poor maiden before. In this drama, I am a maid who is both victim and predator, therefore, I had to convey an innocent image while also give a revengeful vibe. It was quite tough too for me because of this half-half characteristics. There are scenes where I need to laugh like a villain but few seconds later, I have to cry. It was so challenging to create the image of an oppressed, submissive and loyal maid, while I need to show the audience who’s the boss. Other than that, since this is a fairy tale genre, I learnt to modify how I wear my hijab to fit in with the story setting. Using my hijab, I managed to put on an image as if I have two braided ponytails. Last but not least, I took part in drama in IPG during my 2PPISMP. This drama is a new experience because the performance is held for 1 hour when I’ve just been experiencing performing 15minute dramatization. And this time I played a male character named Mercutio who is funny but cannot tolerate people who badmouths him and his friends. He’s quite impulsive, always down for a fight if something hurt his pride. I got to be creative and create a fight choreography that looks intimidating yet interesting because just swing the sword around in the drama can be really dull.
