Drama

The drama team wracked their brains for inspiration to create an interesting and original storyline. Besides having to keep in mind the need to amuse their audience, the team also needed to keep their plot simple so as to be easily understood by those who have just started learning Bahasa Indonesia. As such, they came up with a script in Bahasa Indonesia peppered with English terms. The cast, being new to Bahasa Indonesia as well, had a hard time memorising their scripts.

The practice on the 17th march was the first time the team met to act out the script they prepared. The practice was filled with laughter, with the cast attempting exaggerated gestures and dramatic tones. Though none had theoretical background and all were uncomfortable with such dramatic actions, they still tried their best. Every suggestion to make the show more interesting or funny was tried out even though it was ‘embarrassing’ to some. The team, which started out shy and nervous, became more confident and expressive with practice. On top of that, the drama team had to come up with their own props, background sets and sound effects! Everybody in the team contributed regardless of whether or not they were from the props team. Such teamwork and effort committed to making this show a success is definitely praise-worthy.
