God made Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve

Today was my first day in MMU's Theater Class...

What I can say is, that this class rocks. As i am writing this, i currently have no regrets what so ever joining this class. Actually Mano Maniam frm Kopitiam fame was suppose to teach us, but instead we got another lecturer who is a lady...looks like someone in her late 30's or early 40's...and she rocks.

Anyway, it's a small class, and 3/4 are my friends from CF and class...so it's like, such a comfortable environment. The first thing she wanted was for us to write
1)about ourselves
2)Why we want to join this class
3)what can we contribute

She thought us some really weird exercises...(some resembled warm-ups in PJ). Some were.'imagine someone pulling your nose, imagine someone pulling your left ear...and we had to move according to where we were pulled.

We had this activity where two people had to act in front based on their own scenario, then halfway through, she will shout "FREEZE"...and the students freeze in that position and ONE student leaves the stage and is replaced by another. Immediately the two students have to act out a different scenario starting from that freeze position...continued until all of us had a chance to act really impromptu scenes...like something from 'Whose Line is It Anyway'.

One thing that i feel was a bit discouraging was there were plenty of gay scenarios that we attempted because it was really funny...really hillarious, but i don't think it was politically correct.

But overall it was hillarious. We had other acting activities also...so hillarious and graphic

Did i mention to you that the class was from 4pm to 8pm...4 hours straight,,,i am so tired,,,haha
