What’s it like to have a robotic domestic helper at home? – Drama team tells all at the Hong Kong School Drama Festival (“HKSDF”)
 
For the 4th year in succession, YWPS entered the HKSDF. After 4 weeks of blood, sweat and tears (and numerous technical difficulties), eleven of our P.5 and P.6 students successfully performed the 20-minute play "Why Can't You Do It Yourself?" in front of two professional judges yesterday (23 Feb) in our school hall. The story, originally written by a group of ex-YWPS students, is about two brothers who discover the reality of having a robotic domestic helper at home. From all accounts, our actors gave a virtually flawless performance and received high praise from both judges. Congratulations must go to the boys (and their parents) for their efforts and flexibility! We look forward to performing this drama in front of you all at this year’s Drama Fiesta!

Drama Coach

Performers' reflection

Johnny Chou 6A: 

"This time, Mr Ching coaches the drama team and I would participate in a drama performance. My role is to be an independent lad who can get things done by himself. We met a lot of obstacles, like someone was sick during the drama practice. Also, we were not cooperating sometimes. The worst one was that the curtains got stuck at the last week of the performance in the hall! All of us had been working hard. When the performance day arrived, we did our best and the play ran smoothly. Thanks to Mr Ching for giving me an occasion to enjoy English drama!"

Considering that their training for this particular play merely started after the Thematic Group Speaking training for Speech Festival, their level of cooperation and engagement in this performance were no less than stunning! Best wishes to all of you for the upcoming results.

This is a very good experience for me.It's my pleasure to act on the stage because I can enhance my acting skills ang braveness.I loved drama so I tried my best to act well.It's hard to cooperate with each other because we need to add many feelings and facial expressions.I'm happy for having such a great time."The "New"me starts now!"✌✌

This was my first time to be in the Hong Kong School Drama Festival (“HKSDF”) and just my forth time preforming drama on stage. My role was to be a manager of a Robot company called “ROBOTS R US”. There were lots of obstacles during the practice – even though I just got only around four lines – for example, everyone had to squeeze time for practicing, numerous technical difficulties, stage setting… and we actually had six days of non-stop practice! Thank god that we performed very well in the final performance. Thank you for the effort of everyone who participated in this performance, especially Mr. Ching for spending so much time on fine-tuning the script, and making things so smooth (kind of). Thanks Mr. Ching for giving me this precious opportunity for preforming in this act! I’ve really learnt a lot!

I want to thank Mr Ching for coaching us(and me), even if I only had three lines, I still enjoyed everything, especially my costume(That was great).The most awkward(and funny)part was that when I was knocking on the door, the door suddenly flew open(hope the judges don't count that).Lots of of thanks to all the people who helped us!:-):-):-):-):-):-)
