Acting- First Big Show HK


Dani was in her first acting performance this Sunday night.  She has been going to the class each Saturday morning for the past 8 months.  A lot of lines to memorize and the kids were also allowed to improvise. The show lasted 30 minutes. 

This is a note from the drama  director describing the show.  It was in Chinese and translated with Google.


Dear parents,

I am drama director Emily.  From January to March in the previous quarter and from April to June this year, I and my children used improvisation techniques to create their own butterfly story called “Butterfly of the Beautiful” because the concept of a landfill proposed by a student, so we Based on this background, tells the story of how a butterfly caterpillar can find food for survival.

In the second half of this season we continued to create the second half of the "Butterfly Country of the United States." We again opened the "Creation Conference" with teachers and students and brought together the creative forces of Class C of my 7th class of infants to complete the entire play.

When I asked the students, when the second half of "The Beautiful Butterfly Country" could be developed? A very serious student told me: "Emily, sister, you know you don't know. A place that is too comfortable will make you lazy." I looked at him and my eyes were shining. It was simply According to the famous saying, the child is simple, so the heart is very clear, but can see a lot of truth full of life. So we created the lower half of our story in this direction.

In my 20 years of childhood drama study experience, I discovered that student creativity is often unexpected and very honest. The child knows a lot of things. If there is a free space to be respected, let the child know himself and connect with himself, so as to express his true self, and to be able to get affirmation and appreciation during the period, this is very intrinsic to the child's internal cultivation. With great power, I created a way for children to improvise and let them create their own scripts. They realized that they would love the process of creating and exploring dramas more, and that they would be more interesting and playful without memorizing lines and making them You can enjoy the joy of using the lines more flexibly.

Seeing their happiness during their creation and rehearsal, I'm constantly trying to explore new ways of defamation. Everything is worth it.
