RBKD Orientation 2013 – Skit

What: RBKD Orientation 2013

When: 8 June 2013

Where: Labrador Park

Sandra, Team Resilient, Assistant Team Leader:

The skit was kinda impromptu but I personally liked how we were given lesser time to prepare because everything performed was funnier/more real as we just went with whatever ideas we had.

We were given time to discuss and rehearse and so as not to waste any preparation time, we just took up any roles of the skit without hesitation or worrying about being embarrassed on stage (which is good because some of us snapped out of being shy and just enjoyed the entire process).

The skits put up by all the teams were rather comical and everyone had a great time laughing at one another.

Amanda Lee, Team Knitted, Participant:

For me, I felt that the skit was one filled with team work.

As this is my first time joining the Orientation, I was quite unsure of what to do as it was really scary to just go up and act in front of so many other participants. I was quite sure that I did get the symptoms of stage fright (such as mind blanks and not being able to speak) while rehearsing but my teammates were very patient and encouraging.

I’m really thankful and glad for their patience and understanding, it helped me a lot. Jean even volunteered to do the scenes with me. That lifted a load off my chest although I was still nervous. The skit may not be a perfect one, but to me, the skit was an awesome one because of my teammates.

I really felt that it showed exactly what team work meant as we tried to help each other especially when someone forgot their lines. I enjoyed myself a lot and I’m sure my teammates had fun too :)

ACTION!

Zi Lei, Team Knitted, Team Leader:

It was definitely not an easy task coming up with a skit that had relevance to RBKD, albeit coming from drama CCA in secondary school. The storyline of the skit was definitely an aintegral part of it and how could I put in elements and characteristics of RBKD and its members into it? Fortunately for me, an idea came to me one night and it was to act out the obstacles that fans of different ages may face and how they could resolve it.

I wanted to make our skit as true to life as possible and I felt that this was one way to do it because our members are indeed from various backgrounds and there are certainly no lack of obstacles, personal and external, when deciding to join the big family.

On the actual day, rehearsal time went by pretty quickly too. As I only provided them with how the scenes will change and how it goes as a whole (i.e. without any scripts), the bulk of it, which was the acting, was then based mostly on their own improvisation.

There were a few minor hiccups but I am proud to say they did a great job! With the limited time and only things from my head to work with (which is basically nothing concrete/no scripts), they managed to inject their own ideas and put up a skit for Team K even though it might have been their first go at acting (and improvising)!

It’s been a great experience and kudos to all of you for the great job done!

Team Resilient! Lets sing along~~~
