Time

In Drama today, our activity was to act out a poem given to us called time, we were split into groups of three and my group consisted of Ricardo, Hyen Ho and myself. The following is the clip of us acting it out.

In the video, we have used physical theater by making ourselves into a clock, Hyen Ho and I were the circular part whilst Ricardo was the hands of the clock. Also, Hyen Ho was actor 1, I was actor 2 and Ricardo was actor 3. 

Greek Theater Reflection

Greek Theater Reflection

After completing our performance of Oedipus & The Sphinx, it's time to write up my reflection so the following text and images is my reflection after completing our first unit, Greek Theater.

1) The one moment, our group used chorus work was when we were acting out the scene where the king and Oedipus fought, as Sireen and I were making out tired words and sounds in unison to portray Oedipus' emotions and to bring more emphasis on his exhaustion, adding onto his tired movements.


2) I used my voice to show my character during the sphinx scene as I changed my voice so it was loud and sounded villainous to add emphasis to my character and to make myself seem more intimidating.


3) I used body language to show my character when I was playing a spirit during the oracle scene as I was using my hands and my way of movement for body language and to make it seem as if I was actually a ghost trying to scare someone.

Greek Masks Stills

Last week, the whole class was instructed to create each of their own Greek Masks, the following is the images we took in our Greek Masks, our body language being the main factor as our masks only show one emotion but our body can show many.

These were the picture we took in our masks that portrayed being in love.

This picture we took portrayed anger.

This was a small group photo that portrayed the emotion, happy.

Lastly, this was the photo we took portraying the emotion, sadness.

Oedipus Drama Stills: Scene 3 & 4

Today, in Drama class, we practiced the third and fourth scene of the Greek myth, Oedipus. The following stills summarize what happened in each scene.

In the third scene, which is about Oedipus' happy childhood, the chorus (Salma (Me), Sireen, Karim and Hyen Ho) sit at the back, counting the years Oedipus grows in every step he takes.

In this scene, it captures the moment Oedipus (Faris) discovers his prophecy and it shows his shocked face, the oracle (Sireen) sits in a neutral position whilst the chorus (Salma (Me), Hyen Ho & Karim) stand behind repeating the prophecy in union. 

Oedipus Drama Stills

In Drama Class, on Tuesday, we began to act out the first two scenes of the Greek Myth, Oedipus and below are the two stills we took, to summarize what happened each scene.

In the first scene, above, it captures the exact moment the shepherd (Faris) discovers the baby in the cradle. The tree (Me, Salma) stands next to it, while the two sheep in the back (Kareem and Hyen Ho) watch. 

In the next scene, above, the shepherd (Faris) shows the King (Kareem) and the Queen (Me, Salma) the baby and it captures the shocked faces of the King and Queen whilst the guard (Hyen Ho) watches,
