Introducing myself

Task title: 'Presenting Myself'.

Date of task: 14th September, 2011.

Aim of task: Using words, images, and objects to present myself.

Description of task:

• 'Use words to describe yourself'
• Each person gets a piece of A4 paper, and need to write words that they think can describe/represent him/herself, in a form of a spider web.
• This is my web of words:

• 'I chose Theatre because...'
• Each person gets another plain A4 paper, and need to write sentences that explains why we chose Theatre.
• This is my reason of why I chose Theatre:

• 'A picture that represent yourself'
• Each person gets a piece of A3 paper, and need to draw a picture that they think can represent themselves.
• This is my picture:

Reflection:

• I think the words I chose to describe me are quite suitable, I think I need to work harder on not being lonely, I will try to get more friends, and I think joining the Theatre can help me with that, and I also got a lot of friends in the Theatre class!
• The reasons why I chose Theatre are quite reasonable I think, but I am the only local students from local school in the Theatre class, maybe other HK students would rather choose another science/humanities subject. I think at this moment, I will say the Theatre is more than my expectation, my teacher, Steve, is really amazing, all the other students are talented, and I love it, I think I won't regret my choice.
• For the photo that I drew to describe myself, I drew a man with a cactus covering him, and I wrote "A cactus (man) who wants a hug (water)." It is like a crossover methopher, it means a man who wants a hug, like a cactus wants water, but I am sometimes like a cactus, I sometimes look like a person that doesn't want to talk, but I really want to express myself to the others. And I think this picture can describe me. And surprisingly, people started hugging me when all our pictures are displayed! I felt the love in the theatre class and I almost melted! I guess this picture will never represent me in the future again!

Conclusion:

• Understanding myself is a really important thing, not only for theatre, but even for the life of a person. After knowing myself thoroughly, I can then act like someone else, it is the process of breaking my original personality and build up another one.
