Hello eveyone! :D

Here's our new drama blog!
WHEE.

Today's lesson:

We were split into two groups based on odd or even register numbers.
Then, we had to brainstorm ten topics we were interested in.
What we came up with was:

1) Eating
- Disorders: Anorexia, Bulimia; Obesity

2) Relationships
- parent-child
- rich-poor

3) Sleep!
- not enough?
- insomnia

4) Competition
- hidden?
- for: approval
- modern society

5) Clothes
-teachers? (style: dressing/fashion sense)
- represent personal thoughts/beliefs?

6) Boredom
- of class
- of Life?

7) Journey to the West!
(like our chinese one last year :D)
- reenactment? modifications?

8) Jealousy/Envy

9) Economic Crisis

10) Fate
- is it true?
- or just an excuse?

11) Faith/Belief/ Hope
-religion

12) Conflicts (very general!)

13) Braces/Specs/Nerdiness (8D)

14) 7 Deadly Sins

Our 3 chosen topics were Competition, Faith, and 7 Sins.
We acted these out in freezeframes!

For Competition,
we tried to portray different types: sibling rivalry, in the workplace, on the running track.
we also had a person right in the middle, clutching her head. To illustrate the stress of life in modern society!

We interpreted faith in the religious sense, with our group curling to form a u shape.
from stage right to left, we had the devout, in decreasing degrees, to those completely against religion.

The Seven Deadly Sins was apparently hard to interpret.
As Lynn was absent,
we had eight actors.
So we decided to have seven embody a sin each,
and one (in the centre) personify "perfection".

Final choice of topic: Competition


JIAYOU US! :D
