Task/role played in the group
The role I played in the theatre group (Natrah) as Che Mad”. The Malay men that work for British representative in Tanah Melayu.The role that I play is quite tough and difficult because I need to portray and presenting the real character of “Che Mad” that required me to speak by using the Penang dialect, finding the suitable clothes and props that suitable with the character of “Che Mad”. Besides that, the role that I played in the group, required me to showing a variety of emotion and feeling such as angry, using a variety of tone of voice, curious and dominant, in order to ensure the viewers can feel the dialogue and content that delivered by me.
Strategy used to play the role
There are several strategies that I used to play the role, such as viewing Natrah theatre in YouTube. When I viewing and searching this theatre on YouTube, I can know exactly the content and storyline of this theatre. Besides that, I also asked help from my friends that know how to use the right Penang dialect. I personally didn’t know how to speak by using the Penang dialect because I stay in Selangor. The other strategy that I used to play the role is by following and attending each of training session that had been made, in order to ensure, I can present the good quality of acting. I personally believe by attending each of training session are really helping me to empower by acting skills in term of delivering the right emotions and feeling, using the suitable tone of voice and memorize the script and dialogue in each scene
Issues/challenges encountered and steps taken.
The issues and challenges that I faced in playing the role as Che Mad” is using right Penang dialect. As I mentioned before this, I didn’t have any basis and know exactly the right ways to use this dialect. However, I took this issues and challenges in positive ways and I believe with myself that I can do it and cope this issues and challenges. I took several steps to solve and cope this issues or challenges such as watching the Malay movie, asking help from my friends that stay in Pulau Pinang by calling him to asking him the right way to speak by using Penang dialect. Besides that, I also attended each of training session that had been made.
Creative and critical thinking process involved in completing the project:
Creative and critical thinking process involved in completing the project is through the transforming the information and knowledge regarding the character of “Che Mad” that I get from the internet, sharing discussion and training session with my team members in order to portray the actual character of “Che Mad”. This process allowing me to enrich my knowledge about this theatre as well as enhance my creative and critical thinking ability and skills. Through the process of creative and critical thinking process involved in completing the project also gives me a chance to explore and apply the knowledge and skills regarding this aspect that had been taught by my lecturer, for this subject, Dr Azlineer Binti Sarip.
Lesson learned gained from the project
The lesson that I learned and gained from the project are become more confident, enhance my soft skill as well as improve quality of my time management. I want to make a confession here that, I not quite good in time management. However, through the continuous support and advice that I get from my classmates especially from team members (that joining a theatre), I can improve the quality of my time management. I believe as human being nobody in this world is perfect and to becoming a good person we need learn from the mistake. The second lesson that I learned and gained from the project is regarding teamwork. I really proud and grateful to gets an opportunity to work with my team members that very friendly and hardworking. They are so impressive and superb. Teamwork spirit and commitment that showing by each of my team members, drive me to train more hard to produce a good quality in acting. The last lesson that I gained from this project in term of improving the level of my self- confident to communicate and work with many people that have different characteristics, a way of thinking and perspective towards particular issue or aspect.
