mr.rohaizat

Thursday, 01st July. We all met Mr.Rohaizat Shuhardi, the director of ‘Ops Ophelia’. At first I thought this meeting will be boring and sleepy plus he late about an hour. But after he step inside and start talking, the entire negative thought had disappeared. He talked about the making and most about what a theatre really are and also the differences between ‘Ops Ophelia’ and others theatre.
I like him, I mean the way he talked, how he put in plain words to us in comprehend ‘Ops Ophelia’. It’s like magic after spend about an hour, all the dances, the movement and the songs makes sense at last. During the meeting, I also gain new knowledge. Now I know that theatres are not only about actors doing the talking and audiences just watched. It’s more than actors and audiences; it is art made of words and gesture. That’s why I keep reminding myself I’ve got to pay attention in Dr.Edwin’s class, in case I can understand a play in future.
    Okay, before I end up my journal for today, le me bring to mind what Mr.Rohaizat had said; ‘an acting is not only acting but responding’ and ‘theatre is a space of transformation’. I guess that makes theatre is great!  Last but not least I have quote one philosophy from Mr.Rohaizat:
“History come with what we know, and what we know give us comfort”
Asta la vista babe!!
