Drama Experience 2005

Before the Total Defence day drama, I felt very excited. Personally, I think that this is a rare experience which we have gone through. Although I was given a task as easy as playing songs via computer, this was an important task. Even with the slightest mistake such as playing a media file at the wrong time. Every second counts in this task; if we are to play the song file a second too early, it will disrupt the carefully planed scheme for thr drama play.

I sort of liked the task of playing media files for the drama, this was because up do not like to go on stage with the audience right in front of me. Also, I am very good in computers and could play media files efficiently. This task seems to suit me well.

Although we received three rehersals to practice playing the media files and this drama came in short notice, we manage to make the real performance look as though nothing wrong ever occured. However, during the performance, the area behind the curtains in which we were using the notebook was very stuffy and warm. Actually, I was sweating all the way through, not because of the performance but due to the presence of the stuffy conditions. During the performance, we have to strain our ears to try to listen to the narrator. She played an important role as when she speaks out the words in which we have to play the songs, and when to stop playing the songs.

Fortunately we have managed to pull through this ordeal.
