New Collaborations and Roles

February 28th, 2014

Creativity: 

I have already received my role in the theatre production, 'Yerma', a while back and have started rehearsals. My character is Juan, who's meant to be a mean and abusive husband to his wife Yerma, the main character of the play. So I basically play the as the main villain of the story, which is a role I have not taken on until now. I know that a difficult task in completing this production would be remembering all my lines and performing all the movements with those lines correctly, since I have not had a role as big as the main villain in a play before. One perk that comes with being involved in this production is that it lets me collaborate with new people that I haven't worked with before. When the full cast was revealed, I actually haven't even met or even talked to most of them before so I am looking forward to see how my collaboration skills with new people goes.

Action:

Me on the badminton court

There is currently a tournament going on in badminton to see where all of the players rank. Out of the five matches I played in this week's session, I only lost one of them so I think I'm in a decent position for now. This tournament has made the badminton activity much more interesting since there is now something worth winning matches for. When first starting this activity, I would only have matches against my friends that I already knew, but this tournament has lead me to play against players that I haven't had a match with before. So this is another activity that gave me the opportunity to collaborate with new people.        

Service:

A new activity our Hope for Kids group has started to entertain the cancer patient kids at the hospital sing Sinhalese songs to them while playing instruments. Before we would just play the instruments while someone else would be singing for us, as shown in one of the previous posts, but now we have to learn and sing the songs ourselves. The instrument I play along to the songs now is the tambourine, which is actually a new role for me as before I was playing the drum.
