Introduction to task

In this Reflection I will talk about our performance of our Ritual performance. We are like a clan that have a ritual. We made the ritual for 3 weeks. Our Ritual is all about we reviving a person from the dead and then praise him.


What is the difference of ritual and play?

• Ritual is something like a play that is symbolic to a clan for the clan it self. While a play is just acting of something that was for the audience.


Preview of our Ritual



How Effective?• All of our group members are

contributed and are on their own picked task. Leo is becoming the necromancer. Me, Surya, Chang Min, Rhein, and Wiliam become the summoners. While Dhana became the dead man

We have problems of team work because there were some of the people that we cannot work well. We

overcome this problem by voting.


Drama Skills• Movement

• Choral Speaking

• Symbolic objects

Choral Speaking:-He Is Alive -Vita-Rectio

Objects:- Box= Just a box to resurrect the dead- Cloth (black)= To cover the dead person - Jug (with water)= Represent the water of Life


• Movements:

• For movements we are using direct movements for this ritual. We perform heavy movements to show how powerful it was. We also using levels. We also have rises and falls.


Events- A man Died- 2 men found him- They call in the necromancer- Resurrecting the man (1st try) but failed- They call in the altar with a jug and extra 2 men- Put the dead man on the altar and cover it with black cloth- Resurrecting the man (2nd try):

- Jump - Hop around the man (3X)- necromancer pick the jug and casting spell inside the jug- Necromancer walk around the dead man while the others bow- Necromancer put the water in the dead mans mouth- Hakka like dance around the dead man (2X) - Resurrecting him by raising our arm (4X)- The dead man revived

- The revived man stood up to the altar and everyone near him was blown away- I say “HE IS ALIVE!!!!!!”- The others get back on their feet- Celebrate the Revival


Satisfying?

• the ritual is pretty much satisfying because the ritual has a plot with powerful postures and it’s also strong


Improvements?

• When we were given feed backs, we were ask to create some kind of tableau in the end.


What would you change?

• If I get to do this again, I will improve all the movements to be more realistic and more power to it.
