My Review: Badang Storytelling at the Night Festival

My dad took me to the night festival. A Malay lady was telling the story of Badang. I felt that the lady could improve her story telling by having more facial expressions and when on stage she should'nt be herself and immediately get into character.

She was very expressive in telling the story, interacting with audience and she was audible in the outdoor space. The way she told the story made it interesting. She made the story unforgettable which is exactly an actor's goal. I think so far her solo performance is my favorite story-telling performance I have watched. I hope I can be as engaging or even better than her when the opportunity arises.

Tamasha class 1st term

Tamasha by Deepika Rajani is an acting class I go for since September 2025.            I like TAMASHA as I have learnt new techqinues in acting so far like how it helped me by telling me if I forget my line how to still continue with it on  stage. I also like it as it helps me understand acting better. By teaching me emotions to understand how actors act and now I can identify the emotions based on the actions and best part I get to perform on a stage. that is the reason I like TAMASHA by deepika rajan.Tamasha class. I have 2 main roles in the upcoming theater performance. The role I love is as a cricket player and I get to play cricket and I am the batsman. Acting and preparing is fun.

On 30th November 2025, I acted as  a bear eraser.  It was  another production of  Tamasha's. Its the Weight of Small Things play. I did almost everything by myself.  I wrote the script and planed how I will enter and exit all by myself.  I acted as a cute bear eraser and my monologue was about its life. My goal was simple get the audience engaged and make sure they find my piece interesting. I tried my best to engaged audience and to interacted with them in the beginning.  I asked them a question so that they would think i'm intracting withthem and pay close attention.  I also tried not to rush through my lines so they can listen to me clearly.  I tried to make facial expressions to match emotions.  My monologue went well as I did not rush and my interaction with audience. Things that challenged me was trying not to get distracted by a baby who cried once. I noticed it but did not let it affect my acting. I learnt that acting takes time...

  Beautiful Opps Even though I was too young to act for the theater product, Beautiful Opps, I still made a animated video about me and my own beautiful opps moment. Before I sent the video I felt confident as I had practiced a few times. I talked about my art project and how it makes me feel, why I liked it and my own beautiful opps moment which was mistaking someone for my sister. Honestly during the video I felt a bit impatient as the recording setup took a long time. My father said that I had to make 3 separate video. After I was done, I felt proud that all these videos were going to be played on the performance. That was what I expected. Reality is harsh. They only played one of my videos. They animated what I sent. I have attached the recording below:
