Experience-Rehearsal
Actors were in their costumes, and they were ready for the rehearsal. Sometimes the actor needed to change their costumes during others were rehearsling, because they performed two different characters. Some people didn’t come to the rehearsal, so a staff practiced the dialogue. He said it without any emotions !!!!
There are two of my most memorable things during the rehearsal. The first one was all the beast clan weredancing together. They seemed to be so happy, and all their happiness past to me!!! They made me want to dance with them too !!!!! The second most memorable thing was when the fairies were discussing why was Lily so weird, a character name STICKY stared at me for a while, which surprised me.
I liked to watch movies and plays with my mom when I was little, and I was very curious about what were they doing at the backstage. There were many questions about what were they doing during the rehearsal, such as will they wear their costumes during the rehearsal ? Will they look at the dialog during the rehearsal ? I got all the answers through this trip, I was amazed to see them rehearse at a small classroom without all the equipments. I learned how do they rehearse during this trip, this was a very special experience!!! 《Kelly》
On November 10th, we went to see the play rehearsal of IfKids Theater Company in the Metropolitan Hall. First, the director started talking to the staffs, and then they began to rehearse. While they were rehearsing, the director told us the story about the play. There were two tribes in the play. One was the Tribe of Beast, and the other one was the Tribe of Flyer. They were fighting because they didn’t have enough food to eat.
The most impressive part of the rehearsal was that the roars of the Tribe of Beast. The roars were very powerful because they had special ways to roar. They hired some professional voice specialists to train the actors and actresses how to roar powerfully on the stage. I really admired their roars.
In the story, the Tribe of Beast had two ways to escape from regular bombs and gas bombs. They had to stop and lie down when seeing regular bombs. On the other hand, they had to run against the wind when seeing gas bombs. I felt that it was useless to stop and lie down when people saw regular bombs. I wish I would have an opportunity to ask the director about this question.
Overall, I loved their costumes and the stage setting in this play. I saw many delicate and interesting designs on their costumes. Also, the music and the props were awesome. I couldn’t imagine how many efforts the staffs made before the play was performed on the stage. All of the staffs in the play must work so hard to make the play successful. I enjoyed the trip very much. 《Kris》
Today is my first time to watch a rehearsal of a play. The entire group, including me, met at the first floor and Ms. Nicole brought us to the third floor where they did their rehearsal. When we got there, all the actors were already waiting for the rehearsal to start with their costume on. After the director introduced us the story background, the play started.
At first, we saw a baby left in a box, and then we immediately noticed that she was the main character, Lily. We enjoyed the play very much, because the play was very excited, and some of the character’s actions were very funny.
During the play, some actors went to the backstage to change their costume, because they act another character. They change very quickly, so I can’t really saw how they did change their costume.
The most memorable part is that an actor didn’t attend the rehearsal, so a staff helped him to say the lines. The part is a member told Neisse that her husband died during the war. The staff said his line without any emotion, but Neisse still talked with him very agitated. I think she was very good at the acting, that’s why I admired her very much.
While the other actors were acting, an actor went to the side and started to put some ropes on her waist. After a while, she started to fly! I looked at her carefully, and found that she was tied on the string which is connected to the ceiling. I think she was very brave. If I was the one who is going to fly in sky, and was only supported by a string, I would refuse to do it.
After watching the whole story, everyone’s most memorable line is “KABOOM”, which means “die”, and it really surprised me.
Although the place where they did the rehearsal didn’t have any sound and lighting effect, it’s still a very special experience. We swathe things that they did in the backstage, including changing costume, tie themselves onto the safety rope to fly in the sky, and other cool things. I am really happy to have this experience.

When my mom and I arrived, my classmates were not there yet. I didn’t eat a lot, so my stomach was hurt painfully, and I went to the convenient store to buy some drinks. When I came back there, many of my classmates came. Then I went up the stairs, I felt better. We came up the stairs and saw the characters were waiting for us. We sat down quickly on the floor. The place was very different as I imaged. We didn’t know about the story yet. The director was very kind to explain us the story is about a planet has 3 moons in red, blue and green.
The show began, and we were all excited about the play. At first, we were very confused about the characters. I found it difficult to see the character and who was acting what character. I couldn’t relate the name of the show with the play. While we were watching the show, I slowly understand the relationship. I recognized the show was clear, but they didn’t told us the story; I also noticed that my classmates started to pay attention on it. The show also got my attention. All the actors and actresses enjoyed performing in the show. I also thought,’ they didn’t know that we were around.’ Their movement was clear and with emoton and their voice was loud and clear. Their facial expression was full of emotions.
The show was excited and we also enjoy the song they sang, and we sang along with them. However when our friends asked us what were we saying, we just laughed. 《Jennie》
On November 10th I see the rehearsal. I know there are many praparation have to be done be for the performace. The actors need to have good physical strenght, and they need to speak loudly and clearly. I know being an actor or an actress is very hard, because they need to let audience laugh but actor can not laugh. It is happy to see rehearsal, I think the best of the show are the story setting and characters’ language. 《Howard》

At Novenber Tenth, we went to Ifkids’s secret place where they pratice. We had enjoy their Drama Rehearsal called“The Starry Graden”. The story is about two clans Beast clan and Flying clan. It takes place in the planet which has three moons, and the story start at Beast clan. The main character is Lily. Lily has been adopt when she was infant. She was adopt by the leader of Beast clans, after Lily has been adopt, there are lots of more interesting detail!
I learn lots of things in this Rehearsal.I learn that a drama is difficult to make up, that is because everyone in theatrical company need to work together, or than you will make a bad drama. Actors are the people who express the whole drama. Director is the most important person in the drama, director will decide lots of things include character, background, and sound. Screenwriter is the person who write the story main idea and detail, and tell Actor what to do in the drama. This rehearsal let us learn lots of things about “Drama”, let me got a memorable experience.

On November 10th my classmates and I went to watch a children’s play rehearsal from the IfKids Theater Company, and it was interesting .The play was great. I learned that the actors or actresses could change their characters during the play. I also found out that being an actor or actress was not easy .They had to remember a lot of lines and actions. Their voices were loud and clear, and their costumes were all handmade.
There were two memorable parts during the play. The first one was when the Tribe of Beast was dancing. They danced well and made me happy .The second one was when the beast heard that their families were dead they howled loudly and it shocked me.
It was a special experience!

On November 10th, we went to see the rehearsal from IfKids Theater Company. The play was about the fighting between the Tribe Of Beats and the Tribe Of Flyer. We only saw the first half of the new play, but I thought it was very interesting. All the actors and actress wore colorful costumes. I thought the costumes of Flyer was so funny because they had wings on the costumes. The actor and actress of Ifkids all had the loud and clear voices.
They did not feel scared on the stage. They sang and danced for every kid. They were always smiled, and they practiced hard in every play. Their plays were fun and interesting. They even wore gas masks in the rehearsalI. It was really cool and fun visiting the rehearsal.

At November tenth, it was about six o’clock. We went to a secret place where Ifkids drama rehearsal. It is not a great place, but I thought it was good enough. There are glassas in this small room, we sit in the corner, their show was wonderful. First, the music made feel nervous, and the main character—Lily, was a interresting girl. In the story she was worried why we have to fight , and she hates wars, wars kill many of her friends, after this, Lily and her mother had been exiled to a horrible place, but the fairies find her and they made up the stary garden to make the two tribes become friends, but at first they fight for the garden, but they find out that they don’t need wars . And they became friends, they live happily together for ever.
From this drama rehearsal, I learn a lots of things, like I know how do they practice, how do they dance. I think it is a great story, sometime it was scary, and sometime it made people feel happy, I wish I can see another show from Ifkids. 《Ian》
