My Play

If I were given the opportunity to be actor in Ancient Greek play, the things that I should consider in my play is:

1. Costume

Costume is one of the important elements in drama/play. As we all know that play or drama that I mention here is on the stage, not like television or movie. So, costume plays an important role to ensure that my audience feels entertained and my play is worth-to-watch. The costume for me, should not be been influenced by any other culture or fashion. I believe the costume should be exactly like the way it’s supposed to be. For instant, if ancient Greek costumes are use a lot of linen and has lack of accessory, so I do not want any additional on the costume.

2. Stage

Stage should be more for real according to scene and part because stage is the tool for audience to get the clear picture about the play that they are watch; when the drama is takes place, the signal of change and the situation of the play. ‘For real’ here does not mean the stage should exactly have a real building on stage. Stage should be arranged accordingly. For instant, if the play’s setting is at Mount Olympus, it is enough to only put God’s throne and cloudy wallpaper as a background. Creative is needed here to enchant the stage. Simple stage will not affect the flow of the play (it won’t take time to change for the next setting of play)

My Drama Class

I am taking minor in literature. This semester, I take a course named ‘Teaching the Language of Drama’. The aim of this course is to enable to student to introduce students to the elements of drama, analyze and teach plays from various literary traditions. When speaking about drama, the first thing that cross my mind is memorizes the script. I always wanted to be part of the drama. I love the art of the drama very much. But I don’t have any knowledge and experience about drama. I believe by studying this course, I will get the knowledge that I need to participate the drama if I were given the chance to be part of the drama project in the future. The thing I like the most about this class is lecturer will read the drama script for us during the class session. This will make me learn more on how to perform on stage with the right intonation and voice projection.
