Welcome To My first Blog

November 26, at 12:50 a.m. - 3:30 p.m. We practiced in 3B because it happened that the class was empty. In addition, we discussed what preparations had to be prepared for the stage setting, the player's outfit, the next rehearsal schedule, as well as listening to feedback from leader and director.  For me, it isalways fun.

November 26, at 9 am - 10:20 am, our group practiced in the micro teaching room. We practiced drama with fun.  Although the first practice on the day was only brief, it still ran smoothly.  Slowly but surely, we began to remember each other's dialogue without having to always look at the text.  Now, without being reminded by the treasurer, we are aware that we must pay a deposit of 5,000.

                            The Retreat                           O, how I long to travel back, And tread again that ancient track! That I might once more reach that plain Where first I left my glorious train, From whence th’ enlightened spirit sees That shady city of palm trees. But, ah! my soul with too much stay Is drunk, and staggers in the way. Some men a forward motion love; But I by backward steps would move, And when this dust falls to the urn, In that state I came, return. Henry Vaughan is one of the metaphysical religious authors who lived in the 17th century.  Metaphysical poetry is a form of poetry related to high intellectual and philosophy, which unites observations and feelings of love, and contains human experience, especially regarding the relationship between God and humans.  1655 Vaughan suffers from a prolonged illness that causes a lot of pain, and  at that time in britain there was a royal war. His illness that is facing makes Vaughan interpret this

November 19, at 12.50 - 15.00 we did rehearsal again, and it was more focused than before.  Rehearsal is repeated until everyone feels that each scene looks better.  After that was over, we planned for the next rehearsal schedule, then reminded each other to often reading the dialogue, and went home.  At first, when I was going to practice, I felt less excited because  afternoon's  weather was very hot, it made the spirit less, but this drama rehearsal was a responsibility of every member, so I tried to get excited again.  Alhamdulillah, all this time our rehearsal has always been smooth.

November 19,  at 8 am - 10:30 am, our group did drama rehearsals.  We discussed about some dialogs that weren't quite right, and finally with a lot of consideration we changed the dialogue.  After that we pay 5000 for savings, and practice it for a while because one of our members must immediately go to class.  It was fun for me, even though we moved to another place to find an empty room to practice.

Henry Vaughan, (born April 17, 1622, Llansantffraed, Breconshire, Wales—died April 23, 1695, Llansantffraed), Anglo-Welsh poet and mystic remarkable for the range and intensity of his spiritual intuitions. Educated at Oxford and studying law in London, Vaughan was recalled home in 1642 when the first Civil War broke out, and he remained there the rest of his life. In 1646 his Poems, with the Tenth Satyre of Juvenal Englished was published, followed by a second volume in 1647. Meanwhile he had been “converted” by reading the religious poet George Herbert and gave up “idle verse.” His Silex Scintillans (1650; “The Glittering Flint,” enlarged 1655) and the prose Mount of Olives: or, Solitary Devotions(1652) show the depth of his religious convictions and the authenticity of his poetic genius. Two more volumes of secular verse were published, ostensibly without his sanction; but it is his religious verse that has lived. He also translated short moral and religious works and two medical w

November 14, 2019 is the 2nd drama rehearsal. We practiced in afternoon, and told everyone to pay a savings of 5000. Before the rehearsal started, my mood was actually bad but they made my mood improve, and after that we started practicing by reading dialogue .  Some parts of the scene still feel stiff, and sometimes if the dialogue doesn't seem right for us to say, we instead laugh together, then repeat the dialogue from the scene.  As usual, when it was over we immediately planned a new rehearsal schedule, and shared what was still lacking.  We also began to prepare and search for costumes that still have local culture, but westerns still look like the title. After everything is finished we go straight home, and keep reminding each other to continue to explore the character and often practice reading each other's dialogue.

The first meeting was held on November 12 during the Drama course.  My feeling during drama rehearsal was very happy and the situation was indeed pleasant.  We learn to explore the characters that will be portrayed and learn to correct each other's pronunciation.  We try to build chemistry so that the characters we will play look natural, and think of what costumes will look more attractive.  We discussed the rehearsal schedule so that all members could be complete when attending practice. When our rehearsal was over, we kept trying to encourage each other and remind them to read the script often, and pay 5000 for savings so if there were items that needed to be bought, we didn't have to bother to look for funds.  The first meeting in our group was'nt attended by one member, Intan, but the rehearsal continued well, and was fun.  Hopefully the next meeting all members can attend, even though it only plays a role in the backstage.
