Being one of the actors in the theatre of the world…

In my previous blog I already mention how I feel when I have to take EDU 3217 for this semester. My mix feelings about this course make me learn and experience some new in my life and finally use it in my own life. Every lesson with Dr Edwin helps me understand better for this course. After my first lesson with Dr Edwin, I can see what theatre is all about.
By looking at my title for this blog, ‘being one of the actors in the theatre of the world’ may be some of us may agree that we are the actors in this world, this world is our stage, our language use every day is our text and our behavior is the act in this theatre of the world and every day is our scenes. The reason I came out with this issue it is because in the second class with Dr Edwin I have learn that theatre has it owns conventions like the text, construction of the text, acts, scenes, stage direction and space.
Actually this course in not so tough is we really- really understand what theatre is is all about. There are lots of terms being use and am familiar with those terms like actors, imagined time, and treatment of time, parsing of time, flashback and also types of language they use in the play. There are other conventions of theatre like the aside which is communication between the actor and the audience, the chorus is the voice represent the community, disguise where the actors changing into new character in the play and it is important for the audience to know that the actor is the same person and last but not least is songs and dance. Mostly songs and dance in the play can be related with comedy or tragedy.
Though out this second lesson, I can sum up in one general conclusion, whether we realize it or not we are already the actors in this world. So it is up to us on how we make our own act in this stage of the world in order to be a good or bad actors. Taking this EDU 3217 course makes me reflect on what I have done in this world. And hopefully for the next lesson there will be something adventure and new to be learn….
