Improv 2

In acting course/class, we normally called the assignment as Improv, and the assignments for this class is just acting. I had taken this "Theater (Acting) course for my co-curriculum subject. Basically, the students will have 2 assignment for this courses, which are Improv 1 and Improv 2. Improv 1 is something like pair assignment which present it in the class and Improv 2 is a group assignment which perform it in the public. I would like to talk more on Improv 2 because it is more attractive compared to Improv 1.

Today, all of the temporary "actors" had to perform Improv 2 based on their location they had choosed. There were around 8-9 groups presented on various location such as Habeeb Sultan, U-Center, CLC Concourse, Ixora Foodcourt, Library and so on. My group was the first group to perform and we started our "acting" sharp on 11am in front of Highland Curry House (Emerald Park). The idea of the story that we created was like:

"A jealous guy tried to interfere in the situation of a couple's conflict, and at the same time, the jealous guy had feelings towards that girl. The jealous guy was tried to fight with the girl's boyfriend and tried to protect the girl from being bullied by her boyfriend, but ends up the girl slapped the jealous guy for making the situation worse. The girl was very angry and tried to run away from there, and her boyfriend chased her from behind. Unluckily, her boyfriend was bang by a car while he crossed the road. The guy was badly injured and was sent to hospital."

The beauty of Improv is when the reaction of the publics while we acting in the public. When the scene of conflict occured, the ladyboss of the shop was angry and scold us :" Hey, you all want to fight, go other places fight la. Why fight here?" She don't know we're actually acting! All of us just acted like nothing happened and we continued our story. Another great scene occured when the guy was bang by a car and there was bloods came out from his hands, mouth and on the road. Again, the ladyboss reacted, "Eh, why can this happened ? Fast sent him to the hospital!" Not only that, I can said many publics were shocked with that scene and 1 of the public went to the security department and report that was an accident. After we finished acted, the Emergency Response Team from MMU came with a van to give an emergency help. Once they reached here, all of us plus our lecturer told them there was only an acting. They looks like "diperbodohkan" us. What to do ? We're acting. We could not tell you the real story until we end our acting. So sorry la, PAK CIK! Kita ni kan semua bakal pelakon-pelakon. Hahaha!

Today also was the last class of the acting course. The purpose of today class is just to listen the comments and feedbacks from the lecturer about all his students performance, besides emphasize again the format for final exam. I felt enjoyed taking this course and I had learned some skills for the acting. That's great!
