My UWCSEA Learning Journey

In this Unit, I chose to do the “Girl” from “The pretty pieces”. I chose this because I really feel the tension of her feeling like she is trapped in a box.

I learnt how important it is to collaborate with each other is. When we were giving feedbacks, it made me realise a lot of things that I did not even realise while I was working by myself. When we were in a group, I did not realise it at all so, this was a really interesting opportunity for me to have.

Also, by giving feedback to each other and looking other people’s performance, it gave me an opportunity to rethink about my acting as well. I did not think that standing there and just speaking for 5 minutes or so is not a good way to communicate with the audience but by looking at other people’s progressing video, I realised it and revisited my own performance. I realised that I do not move much while I am performing.

At last, it gave me more confident to perform in front of others. I love performing on stage front of many people since I have been doing ballet since really young age. But still, I was really bad at projecting my voice on stage because I was not confident about my English pronunciation and also, I was not experienced in it. This gave me an opportunity to practice my performing skills.
