My Experience On Doing Our 'Maleficent' Role Play

     
   On one fine day, we received a task to pick one title for our role play, we just simply pick out 'Maleficent' because we really didn't have any idea to think of any suitable title at that time as the time we are given to pick the title is to short. We choose 'Maleficent' because we thought that we can change it if we want afterwards. But no! Our lecturer didn't gave us permission for us to change our role play title despite she encourage us to do a role play on Maleficent because she thought that it is one of a kind and it is not easy to do role play on that title. At that time, I feel that I just hit a rock bottom because I thought that it was impossible for us to do because it was not an easy task. Our dear lecturer, Miss Dini gave us some idea that is to cast Aizat as the Maleficent while Redza will be casting as Princess Aurora. She thought that it will be fun if a guy becomes a female character.

   After a discussion, Redza and i will be a women. Redza as Princess Aurora, Nazifa as Knotgrass, Erisya as Flittle, Sakinah as thistletwit and I as Maleficent. After a few days we didn't do anything yet while other groups have made various preparations. We started to feel the pressure. Then I'm volunteered to write the script and passed it to all my group members.

   Then we tried to practise but not with action, only with our voice. We set the time as a lecturer gave us less than 20 minutes. Yes we managed to make it less than 20 minutes but too short because less than 10 minutes. Then we discussed how to make this story expended, our character not to talk to fast and add some movement to delay the time. I have added up few lines of script to make sure that our story more then 15 minutes.

   We started to memorize our script. Day by day and there is only one day left to practise and my group don't have any props but thanks to Sakinah because she have made the Maleficent thorn which is the important prop for my character. At 8.30 p.m. our group made a full rehearsal for our role play tomorrow. We practised only two times during that night.

   The day has arrived, our heart was pounding because that was our first time to be performing live on stage. We are lucky because our turn was at 6.30 p.m. and the hall was filled with our classmate only. I am prepared to put lipstick and wear a dress to look more seductive. I resigned because it was my first and last being female.




   Its our turn and we were doing very well on stage. Im proud for taking the Maleficent at it best as i could eventhough it was my very first time. The funny part when Redza was running like a girl and his crown fell down, I tried not to laugh but I cant because Redza looked so funny at that time and Miss Dini also laughed. That part was the funniest moment that i could not forgotten.

   Thanks to all my group members for this memory that i will remembered it in my life.
