Festival Plays- Day of the Dead First Play

Hi all blog readers,
Tuesday 1st of June was our first official play.
It was really fun.
My favourite part is the face paint scene.
I'm glad I'm in 'Day of the Dead' because it's such an interesting festival.

Festival plays- Day of the dead


When I first came back from Malaysia, I was so behind track! I'll tell you about the number of things I had to do with the festival plays. My first priority of the 2 priorities was to choose what to actually do. My first choice was Day of the dead, which I eventually chose. But the first thing that I regretted was that it is from Mexico. I actually thought that it was Qingming, the Day of the dead from China. Anyway, I got over it. The second priority of mine was to learn my lines. The problem with learning my lines was that I myself had been to Malaysia and I had less time to learn my lines(my estimate for how much time I had to learn my lines was about 6 days)

The first time I performed the play was so nerve racking. Not only had I had to act myself I had to wave the butterflies around which was hard work. YOU may think ''why would this school boy think it would be hard to wave a set of paper butterflies'' but you are wrong! I have to wave the set of butterflies without being seen, and I have to make the audience be able to
see the butterflies clearly. Anyway, I'm looking forward to performing to the next class!
