Drama Team’s First Hit-out at the HKSDF!

3/3/2018

Our Drama Team's performance this year is titled "I Am Who I AM".
The English drama team put on a dazzling display at this year’s Hong Kong School Drama Festival (HKSDF) performance yesterday morning (2 March 2018).
 
It’s been a year for a lot of “firsts” for the English drama team: the first time having students co-writing the script; the first time for students to fill ALL backstage and technical roles; and the first time having actors sing and dance on stage! In short, this has been a year where many drama “units” have had to work well together under the pressure of time.
 
Throughout their performance, it was evident that all our boys performed their roles with passion and meaning. At the end of our performance, the adjudicators provided us with invaluable feedback and words that may help our budding actors further develop their own acting skills.
 
This drama experience has been a special one for all of us as there were a lot of new elements added this year. A sincere thank you has to go to both Ms Idy Kwok and TA Dennis Ying for their time and effort into making this event work (and yes, MANY hours had to be put in just to get this 18-minute performance on stage!).
 
Some FAQs to wrap things up:
 
Was this performance a raging success?
Well, that depends on who you ask. The adjudicators’ decision will be announced in late-March, so let’s keep our fingers’ crossed and keep our eyes on the announcement that will be made on this very website!
 
Will we get a chance to watch the English drama team’s performance?
It was a pity that we couldn’t have students watch the “Premier” (due to timetable issues), but the English drama team WILL perform this piece at our annual Drama Fiesta. Stay tuned for the date!
 
Mr Thomas Ching
​Drama Coach
Adjudicators chatted with our entire crew after the performance.

I regret for not being able to watch our show in the morning. But viewing the recording later in the afternoon, I could imagine what a big "wow" the show was! Well done boys and well done coaches and technician! Looking forward to hearing more updates from you guys!

I watched the performance live and it was very good, indeed! No stage-fright, no missed lines and certainly lots of energy.

Good job!

Being a script adapter myself, I know that a script takes a long time to become perfect. There were a lot of drafts before the final one, and I worked hard to find errors and places for improvement, also adding some of my ideas to the script. As for myself being an actor, I think I have learnt a lot in this year, such as positions, toning, facial expressions and more. Thank you Mr Ching for such a fascinating experience!
