Hello everyone, this 7th post marks the end of the year end Romeo and Juliet performance. It was a truly enjoyable and fun experience. Even though it was tiring to plan on how to make the props and prepare the dance steps and costumes, the process was overall fruitful.
Our group had many meet-ups during the holidays, weekends and sometimes after school. Sometimes, it was very difficult for me to attend the meetings as I had other appointments at the same time, such as piano lessons, planned outings or doctor appointments. However, as the Romeo and Juliet play plays an important part in our year end literature results, I had to squeeze out some time from my packed schedule to fit the timings of the liertature meetings.
On the day of the Romeo and Juliet actual performance (On Friday), I was very nervous. As my parents did not allow my classmates to come into my house, I did not have the chance to practice the play with the music. I could only pratice the piano music on my own. Hence, I had to listen intently to my group members speaking, and look out for which roles are acting on that moment, and play the suited music for the scene. My hands were sweating during the performance because it was the first time I was playing the piano in front such a big group of people, and truthfully, I was rather unprepared.
Overall, the music was still okay as I tried my best to stay calm throughtout the performance. I think the music was rather soft because I had to step the middle pedal, otherwise the music would be too loud to hear what my group members were talking. Our group remembered their lines well, except for minor mistakes like my group's Juliet forgot her lines. However, we just continued on with the act to cover up our mistakes.
In conclusion, I learnt a lot from this Romeo and Juliet performance. I have learnt about co-operating with your teamwmates (teamwork) and commiment. The time and effort put into making this play a success was due to everyone's commitment. Time-management also plays an important part in this performance.
