Welcome to the Stage Arts Drama blog.
ABOUT US
StageArts DRAMA.
The stage is our playground; with limitless boundaries. Here in Stage Arts Drama, we believe in cultivating and honing the skills of our actors to make them the best that they can be on the stage. We believe that… "Acting is not being emotional, but being able to fully express emotion." - Kate Reid In SA Drama, we use the six elements of drama to prepare our actors for the stage. The six elements are: Blocking, Voice Projection, Eye Contact, Characterization, Creativity, and Improvisation. Each element is equally important and is instilled in all of our members through games, exercises and assessments. Drama would not only be thought by the students themselves, but once in a while, external instructors would be invited in to give our members more exposure to what it means to act on stage. Our members are a fun, creative and talented bunch with a passion for acting, writing and directing. Many came in without experience, but would leave with a rich amount of understanding of acting and the theatre.

Firstly Hazwan and I would like to thank Kaye and Ilham for everything they have done for us and giving us this opportunity! you both have made drama so awesome! SA is a family with you guys around! i (we) just hope that we can fill those huge shoes!! Thank you!! Alright so we are your heads of drama!! YAY!! I guess many of you would have lots of questions about what drama would be like and everything but of course starting with when is the next session! We have decided to start drama this sat! Its not going to be just any session! its going to be a Christmas party! Also we would have a lot of things to discuss to you guys about since you all are going to be year 2s soon!! no more year 1s…you might have to cut down the playing and fooling around just slightly…get ready to welcome new year 1s to stage arts! There will be a lot to prepare for this Saturday. Secondly we would like to know what you think about us and what you want for drama. The following are questions we would like you to answer pls write it down or type it out. Write your name on it! Do take this seriously cuz if you don’t we will be forced to give you a one on one interview. Both of us figured that it would be easier for all of you to open up if it was in writing and if it is confidential. Seal the answers in an envelope or just bring it on sat we will have envelopes for you guys. It will be read by both the us and the committee. Be truthful and honest. Even if it is going to be hurtful for any one of us, we want to know so that we can change. 1. Can you commit to stage arts? (we know some of you are working and some have things on but for those who are not working or have not excuse please decide now if you can commit or if you want to stay in SA Drama because being a year 2 your commitment must be there) 2. What are your opinions of me and Hazwan as your heads? Do you have problems with us? What do you expect from us? 3. What are your opinions of the committee members? 4. Do you have any problems within your current batch, i.e, any ongoing feuds with certain people or who you cannot work with. Or do you know someone who cannot work with you? 5. If you do have to work with them how would you feel about that? Would you go to the extremes and possibly quit? Lastly.. 6. What do you expect from StageArts as a whole? alrights yes im FINALLY ending off!! hope to get to know you guys better!!!!! see ya this sat! Sarah Jane

Hey ya'll drama people, it's your new ASS HEAD (I mean asst. head) speaking! Hahaha. Well, on a serious note, I would like to express my gratitude and honour for being (one of the two) chosen to lead drama next year. First and foremost, to my Year 1's (or should I say soon-to-be Year 2's). I know that there is still a lot of catching up we can do, as I have not been working very closely with you guys the past year. However, in due time, I hope, we will get to know more about each other, and I bet that together with your new Head of Drama, Sarah Jane, we will be able to lead you all to greater heights. *cues inspirational music* Next, to my current batch of Year 2's (or should I say soon-to-be Year 3's). I don't know what more I can say. I have been enjoying every single moment that i've had working with you guys the past two years, and I hope that that remains the same for the upcoming year. The both of us (Sarah and me) are looking forward to working closely with you guys, especially those in the Committee. Again, I hope all of you will still support us and come for drama sessions. If not we'll both be very paranoid (inside joke). So do come for this Saturday's drama session, as we have something special planned for you (for more information refer to Sarah Jane's blog post). Hope to see you all this Saturday. Hazwan Tan.

HEY GUYS! This would be my last post in this blog before i officially hand everything down to SARAH JANE and HAZWAN TAN. For my... oh not MINE anymore... to the year ones going to year TWOs. I hope that you have enjoyed this year with us, as much as we have enjoyed having fun with you guys. I hope that i'll still see you guys performing next year when i come see your events! It has been a fun year and even though it was a very fast one, you guys would all have a place in my heart. =) For the new batch of year 3s... I have nothing to say except... I love you guys. I WILL miss every single one of you AND i believe that you guys would do a BETTER job than my batch. So next year production must be better than Faces of War ok? hehe. No pressure to the 2 drama heads lah of course... nooooooooo pressure at all. hehehe. So this is it. My last act as drama head is to tell you guys that each and everyone of you are talented in your own ways. All of you still have room to shine brighter so do me and the other year 3s proud next year! This ain't goodbye. =) Kaye Dallane Head of Drama 08/09

Hey Guys! Ok so this Saturday, drama session is a must come. Why? Cos it's your last drama session with both Me and Ilham. Yeap. Last drama session with us. Most of you are probably very happy about that. haha. So yes, this Saturday, we'll be doing something a little bit different for drama. So if you don't come, then you'll be missing out on all the action! So please come punctually for drama this Saturday. Those who tend to come late, come earlier. It's not fair for those who always come early and have to wait for you guys. For my year 2s who haven't conducted any drama sessions, good news for you, you won't have to conduct anymore. Instead, i need you guys to come half an hour earlier at 10.30 am. SHARP. If you're unable to come, please inform either me or Ilham. It's compulsory to come down unless you have a valid reason. ALUMNI NIGHT DETAILS: Some of you were asking me about it so here's some brief details about the event. Neela would further explain this Saturday. When: 11th december, Friday Where: Dome Time: From 6 onwards til late. Some of you would be given excuse letters so that you guys can help out in the decorations and stuff. Theme: Retro What is the event about: We're handing over to the year 2s!!! The year ones and twos would have a play of your own. You guys would just have to wait and see what we year 3s are gonna do. NOTE: Angel and Azizzi, you have yet to come back to me with your alumni night synopsis and people involved. Year 2s please make sure that your alumni night play preparation is on the right track. T-SHIRTS! yeap, tshirt design would be put up by Ilham later. We're trying to get all printed by alumni night. So please cooperate and reply to Ilham's messages when he asks you too. haha. That should be it for now. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me or Ilham Kaye =)
