When Great Shows Collide - Drama Fiesta 2019

6/25/2019

It was certainly a moving day seeing all the boys activating every dramatic cell in their bodies performing on stage this morning for our yearly Drama Fiesta.

Both junior and senior sessions showed the brilliantly witty video “Alattin and the Magic Tin” (directed by Ms Angel Leung) and the humourous drama
“When Fairy Tales Collide...” performed by our drama team (directed by Mrs Paul, Ms Yau and Ms Cheng). But the most exciting parts to me were the competitions by the P.3 (Mini-dramas) and P.6 (Improved Dramas) students.

For the Mini-drama Competition, each class of P.3 sent out three boys to perform a version of Esio Trot or Magic Finger. And some of them had to do cross-gender performance and they did it so confidently and naturally! The P.6 Improvised Drama contest was particularly impressive. With only 10 minutes to prepare for a scene given on the spot, our boys (5 actors from each P.6 class) gave the audience nothing short of creative, funny, well-designed and language-wise fantastic short dramas on stage. When I was their age, I couldn't do anything near that, let alone doing it in front of hundreds of people.

Another interesting addition to our Fiesta this year was the puppet-making activities in the classrooms. Our creative boys made use of the opportunity to show us what a good puppet should look and act like!

My salute to all the participating boys, English teachers, MCs, parent helpers, other colleagues who helped in the Fiesta and of course, Mrs Lam our Headmistress. Mrs Lam sat through both sessions and gave enormous supports to the Fiesta, and it made a huge difference!

It was a great celebration of English as the year ends. Our shows have once again confirmed that: English IS awesome!

Indeed, the Drama Fiesta was both exciting and interesting. The improvised drama, which I participated in, was really challenging for me. Although the topic was quite easy, we spent a lot of time discussing,leading to the problem that we didn't have time to practice. Despit that, I still enjoyed the process a lot and valued it as a valuable experience. As for the Drama " When Fairy Tales Collide ", it was special and memorable. The actors acted their character well and the story itself was creative and funny. Drama Fiesta is such an fun day! :>

Nice work Ryan (Rhino)! You acted well today but do remember to slow down a bit. I really like your response "I watched it too, it's really good!" Such a clever improvised line!

It is such an honour to be able to participate in the P.6 Improvise Drama Team and represent the class to act. We were all very nervous but we tried our best to perform in front of classmates. At last, we got the first place. I would like to thank Dr. Lee for giving me this precious opportunity to be able to join this group.

Drama Fiesta is not only a platform for students to shine but also the fire that lights up their passion! Keep the fire burning!

It was absolutely a fantastic experience for me! 
This year, I had the opportunity to produce a romantic comedy for my two P3 classes. My actors and “actresses” were just remarkable! They got into characters and learnt their lines in a very short time. Their zealousness made my job as their director so much fun! 
Thank you, Gerald FOK (3E) and Curtis HO(3A), who played Little Girl, for being so sweet and adorable! Your sweetness captured the audience’s heart.
Thank you, Karson LUI (3E) and Kaspar SIU (3A), for bringing out the feminine side in you. You played Mrs Silver with grace and elegance. I think you two are qualified to be instructors of a finishing school!
Thank you, Randolph CHENG (3E), for portraying Mr. Hoppy so well. You are always so subtle and unassuming, and I didn’t know you had it in you! 
Thank you, Kado LAW (3A), for coming back to school to play Mr. Hoppy despite being ill with a high fever. Your energetic performance didn’t show a sign of sickness. You are so professional!
Thank you Daniel YU (3A) for being the backup actor for Kado. You learnt and recited all your lines well in just a few hours! I really appreciate not only your help, but also your willingness to help out even though it was the very last minute. 
Last but not least, thank you all the parents for your kind help!
My experience wouldn’t be so awesome without YOU!

It was a really fun time for me, with the part that I can go on stage to perform the improvised drama with my classmates. We actually spent almost all our time just for disguising the plot, and didn't even rehearse! We were very surprised when Mr Richard announced that we our the winner! The first thought of myself was that thinking did Mr Richard wanted us to win, since he was teaching our class for ENR. But I think there are a lot to reflect on our performance, like we didn't prepare enough in the 10 minutes, also a bit of chaos onstage.The part where Derrick came out as a police was improvised! Luckily we were able to act well onstage to complete the drama.
Sadly I had missed the show "When Fairy Tales Collide..." show in our practice of the drama, I still had fun when making arts and crafts in class. It was a beautiful day filled with English culture!
