Blog 4 : LIVE STAGE DIRECT

LIVE STAGE DIRECT

Welcome again to my blog and this time I can’t wait to write in my blog because during our 4^th week, we have been asked by our lecturer to have a live stage direct. We are required to read a dialogue and do some live stage direct in front of other students. Before that, lecturer has introduced us with closed text and open text. From this, I can identify which is open test and which is closed text. After that, lecturers asked us to find a partner and read the text entitle Bingo by Edward Bond. Then, we have been asked to rehearse a performance of the scene. There is a variety of performances in all aspect including intonation and emphasis and pace and attitude. From this live stage performance, we can create our own situation. There is students who perform the scenario of the student during a test and a writers in a café. For me, I have chosen to perform the scenario of pal in a restaurant. This live stage directs is a medium for us to get closer with the element of drama and theatre.

Blog 3 : REFLECTION ON POEMS

REFLECTION ON

FOUR AGES OF MAN, MACBETH LIFE’S BREATH CANDLES AND SOPHOCLES – OEDIPUS REX RIDDLE SPHYNX.

This time in my third blog, I would like to give a reflection on four ages of man, Macbeth life’s breath candles and Sophocles-Oedipus Rex Riddle Sphynx. From these poems, I can say that these poems show how the poets perceive their life. Most of the poem try to tell us that that in this life, we cannot change our fate. No matter what happen, we have to accept our destiny. Our life has already arranged by the almighty since we’re not yet born. We have to face all the challenge in our life because that is how we perceive life.

Blog 2 : Hand outs on Drama

HAND OUTS ON DRAMA

This is my second blog and this time I will give a reflection on hand outs on drama that we have already discuss during our second week. Lecturer has give us a hand outs that contain the elements of drama and theatre. From this, I have a information about the history of theatre that include the Greek theatre, Roman theatre, and Mediavel theatre. Besides, there is also an element of drama which is the drama from 18^th-20^th century. There is a tragedy drama, comedy drama, tragicomedy drama and farce drama. From the hand outs, I can identify which is the tragedy and which is comedy drama because there is an explanation on both elements. I also can find the different between tragedy drama and comedy drama. I think that hand outs has helped me understand about learning this EDU3217 courses.

Blog 1 : Exercise on Point of View

EXERCISE ON POINT OF VIEW

Hi everyone. Finally, I got a chance to have my own blog. Although this is a blog that I created regarding to EDU3217 courses which is teaching the Language of drama but I’m still happy to have this blog. For my first blog, I would like to talk about the task that we have done on our first week for this semester. Our lecturer has given an exercise on point of view. I was quite shock when all of sudden we have to answers and complete that exercise. I thought in the first class, lecturer will lecture about it first but then I was wrong. We are able to complete the exercise and apart from that, we have a detail knowledge about point of view. A narrator in a story is the story point of view which is the vantage point from which event are presented. It contains first person narrator, second person narrator and third person narrator. The form persona is used for such narrators. A point of view is very important in a story because it can help us understand the story clearly.
