Drama- Lesson with Bill
Please write a paragraph telling me your takeaways from today’s session with Bill. What did you learn? What was useful? What will you use in your mono?
I learned how to use our imagination to create something that is not really there. Pretend you are trying to open a door, you are staring at something you like… to make your audiences follow your thoughts, then, believe that there’s something on your hands or in front of you… I think it is a very useful skill, it helps you get easier and faster to get into your character and story from practice your imagination. In another hand, if you don’t have suitable stage property to use in play, you can create it by using your imagination, so the skill can help us with saving money as well. I will use it in my mono, I can create a person sitting behind me and listening to me, then I can make my movement more natural.
Retrospective Reflection- Think back to some key learning you have had in the class. Why do you think it was so significant for you?
Mr.Bill said that if we want to do mine perfectly, we need to practise it for many years. It is significant for me because it tells me anything need your hard-working.
Intentional Reflection- List two or three things you intend to do with the skills you have acquired or the discoveries you have made. List two or three areas that you want to research or examine further.
- Mine – I think this is a very useful thing for me. Get into my deep thoughts, forget my concerns, this is not only a drama skills, it also helps me relax.
- Creativity – We need imagination, it a very useful skill. For example, when you pretend you are staring at something, you can create an object you like or hate. This can make your performance more lively.
Evaluative Reflection- What worked well? What was challenging? How did you solve the problem? What did this teach you?
I think the most challenging thing is to ignore people around you and enter your world. My solvement is to pay all my attention to things I create. Actually, we don’t need to care about other people, because it is our own performance.
Action Points- List things to remember for the future or things to do next. Treat this as artistic advisor to your future self from your present self.

- Practise mine more frequently.
