What IB Theater means to me.

So here it is. Finally, IB has arrived, something I've had mixed feelings about for years, being told it's great but it's hard and theres too much work! Well, these next 2 years I will make my own.

In our first drama lesson we played a little game where the floor was 'lava' and we had to have as little contact with the floor as possible. I remember doing these small activities at the beginning of Year 10 and feeling so embarrassed! This time round I felt very comfortable, only having 4 people in our drama class made it much easier and I am very close to these 3, this has given me confidence to just have fun and not to be so worried. This exercise was a team work exercise (i think!) showing that we can't go through IB Theatre on our own and we need to support and help each other through these next 2 years.


This picture represents what Drama means to me and what Drama represents. It represents Confidence. Confidence means a lot to me. The whole way through my life I've been told that confidence is key and that I have this gift of confidence. Drama is the place where this really shines through.  
This freeze frame represents how we feel about IB Theatre. It shows me (the girl in the middle) seeing a reflection of me from the past (the girl on the left) and the two students beside me represent my parents. Over the past couple of months, I have lost a lot of confidence. Almost shutting myself off from everyone. My parents are looking concerned because they see a shift in my personality and hoping that a new routine will make me return to my old, confident, fun loving self from before. The expression on my face is longing, wanting to be who I was. My hunched shoulders and closed body language shows the fear I have that IB will be too much for me, it shows my nerves and fear. My 'reflection' body language is fun and confident. 
This is how I feel about IB Theatre, I feel like it will bring back my confidence, my fun attitude, my work ethic. In the week that we have been back at school and I can honestly say, its coming back. 

Doing these frames was hard. Our teacher gave us around 30seconds to think of a freeze frame. The hardest bit was trying to convey what you were thinking into a freeze frame, trying to make it understandable to others. I also found it quite difficult because I was worried that what I was trying to convey was too personal. Something I should keep to myself and I should try to think about something else thats less personal and maybe a bit more appropriate. But thats not what drama is about. To me, drama is a lesson where you can share personal things about you, it will convey in your acting, directing, and in your thoughts. It would feel almost fake if I didn't write what I truly meant. 

We then had to pick which parts of theatre we enjoy the most between, acting, directing, designing, spectating and dramaturge. I chose acting because I am the last child of 3 and the only girl. My eldest brother is a pilot, something my dad had dreamt about, having his son being a pilot (both my parents are in love with planes) my second eldest brother is a F3 driver, which is extremely exciting and amazing, everyone who knows our family will always ask about how his career is going. And then theres me. Totally different from the rest, a little actress. Acting, preforming in general, is my thing. It's the way I made myself known in the family, instead of just following in my parents and brothers footsteps. Being on stage preforming is the way I can get all attention for a couple of hours! 
Next we had to pick what was the least interesting, I chose dramaturge because it sounds dull, something id have to put effort and time into doing something I don't want to do!
