today, we did a press conference dealing when Victor Frankenstein
and the monster was accused of burning down a village. Each of us were given a
specific role, like The Reverend, Mario Franco, Detective Theurig etc. The
press conference was about 8 min long and each of us needs to contribute for
about 1.5-2 minutes
I felt this activity was rather challenging, as it tested our
skill of drama, debating and questioning. We had to stay in character all the
time and be able to pose and answer questions that were thrown at us. My group
found it slightly difficult as we had to keep posing and answering
questions without getting stuck or going around in circles, we had a bit of
practice time and that helped smoothen out any creases that were in our
presentation.
On the presentation itself, everything in my point of view did
well, but there were moments of awkward silences and there were times
where things got too religious and we were arguing about religion rather
than the matter at hand. But we did stick to our roles, which what a good
thing.
I feel to improve on this, I need to learn sticking into
character, be more alert in posing and answering questions and to pose
interesting questions that challenge the audience. I can achieve this by
getting advice from teachers, watching a play and observing the
actors or rehearse constantly before performing for real
