Let's Talk About Dramatization

Drama on the stage is very different from the movie you watch on tv. When you watch movie, you will notice that the camera are from different angles, while for drama, there's only one side. In addition, no microphone please.  How would you project your voice louder in the hall or theater? What you should do to make sure you are facing the audience?

Geo had done three on-stage dramas during his secondary school and his first semester in the institution. The first play was during his Form 5 and it's an inter-school competition. His first role was being a doctor who responsible to take care a small girl that suffering from cancer. And this was his very first play in his life, and acted as a main character. Memorise few pages of lines making him quite stressful during this SPM year.

His second play was about "Patriotism" and acted during his National Service 2008. His role was a Hawaii visitor who came to Malaysia with his wife. That's one of the main characters who pointed how Malaysia looks like in the visitors eyes where he had to wear a flowery short pants, with a hairless head, haha. His group finally won the second place among all 8 groups.

Moment of victory.. (^O^) can u recognize which one is Geo?


His third play was on 2009 in the institution entitled "Lamb to the Slaughter". Again, he casted as one of the main character with his wife, called Patrick Maloney and Mary Maloney. This was his first play which he required no single line or speechless since the drama is conducted in "Pantomime" form. In this play, Patrick is killed by his wife. Thus, Geo had to act as a dead body too. (lol.....)

In this 2010, an adaption of Shakespeare drama called Macbeth is introduced and Geo is excited to see how the play will be conducted. This is also Geo's first play which he is given a very minor cast and not even reading few lines(maybe only few seconds out of one hour of the drama). This play is set to be performed around May 2010.

From the year 2007 until 2010, Geo has acted for one drama once every year. Four years of experiences, how he will use the experiences to cast on his minor role on the upcoming instalment of drama? Wait and check it out.
