Drama-redefined...


Well, now it seems that I’ve become somewhat expert in the ‘arena’ of drama. The terms that are being used in drama are beginning to make sense for me. All those ‘exclusive jargons’ seem to be at my fingertips-thanks to Dr. Edwin and Miss Siti. I’ve realised that in the quest of mastering something, you should first learn to love it and the process of mastering would take care of itself. I’ve started to perceive the term ‘drama’ in broader perspectives. Drama is not just about stages, actors and scripts; it’s more than that. It’s about giving meaning to the words on the papers and bringing the characters to life. It is more than a medium of entertainment; it provides a platform for the audience to boggle their minds on the issues that are being highlighted by the playwrights. Thus, I think it is time for us to take this term ‘drama’ more seriously as it is an integrated part of us the future English teachers and we cannot deny or resist it...
