It was finally that evening we got to picked my costumes! The nicer ones has no size for me but the final pick was as glam as Egeus! (this time Egeus was Hermia's mother)

I remember I was the last one to be casted for the last role during the casting week. I mean, if I have nicer figure that semester, I think I might be able to have my dream wedding with Theseus, ahaha! So, as that happened, I knew I had to something so I could play a role that has dialogues and stands out on stage. It was down between my friend and I, and the director asked us to read the first lines of Egeus' and each of us will take turn to present. I know for a reason, that I should not be reading the lines but throwing in emotions the best I possibly could!
.
It's my first time preparing for a theatre play, and never in my life I've acted. I was eager to stand out and yes again, I tried understanding the lines and with the help of Mr. @mqawiem , I was able to visualise movements and mood (although beat by beat is a thing I should've considered that day/night). My friend presented first and so my observation leads me to a confirmation that I was at least wanting to get the role, not just doing for the sake of the director's request. And voila, I'm the mother of Hermia for the next few months before our performance early December. Going back and forth between Meisner and Stanislavski is no easy task. .

I would not be writing this if it's not because of YOUR support, each one of YOU! 😊 my dream is to be the voice of people who never had the chance to. Hence, Boal's has always been my favourite, alongside Brechtian's has helped me alot by relaying the ideas with or without anyone noticing it. I thank you so so much for all the love I received. God bless ❤

brechtian 在 Syrena- Singapore's First Mermaid Facebook 的最佳解答
A little, very necessary announcement. In the first person, this time, because apparently posting in the third person makes some people question my sanity
:... It's hilarious how some people (not all of you - most of you are lovely and supportive and clever enough) think I honestly think I'm a mermaid, and are judging me because of it (wondering if I'm all right etc). Please - don't kid yourself. My being a *mermaid* is the same as someone holding down a day job at Disney Land being Cinderella. Is that person really about to try to get into a pumpkin? Or let birds dress her? NO. My putting on a tail is the equivalent of an actress donning her costume - I just choose to try to keep up the illusion here, because THAT'S PART OF ANY GOOD ACTRESS' JOB. (Heard of the theatrical willing suspension of disbelief? I'm so sorry I'm not a Brechtian mermaid.) I do it so children and their families will smile and be inspired and be happy. Cinderella doesn't hug little girls at Disney Land and then go, "seriously, though, this dress makes me look fat and the shoes are making my bunions itch. I CANNOT wait to get out of them and pop by McDonald's later. GEE my job is hard. You don't reaally think I'm Cinderella, do you? Ha. So daft." No. She keeps up the illusion so people can laugh for a little while, believe again for a little while, forget their troubles for a little while and just be happy.
... So thank you, people in question, for being blatantly stupid enough to worry after the state of my mind. I'm not going to be inhaling water or anything any time soon, so you can quit crossing your judgmental, ill-informed fingers. You're the one who needs a reality check.
