Stage Play: "Kalbaryo"

                                                          
This is my First Stage Play where hundreds of people is watching. This play is entitled “Kalbaryo". We launched the play during the holy week. Actually before getting into this I was looking for an acting workshop. And I saw this group Teatro Artistas Philippines where they give free workshops so I grabbed the opportunity. When I got there our Director gave me the role of Veronica as my Major Role, At first it was very hard for me because I need to cry really hard. While we were practicing I was like pressured because I think I can’t cry without any reason. And so the play day came. Seeing a LOT of people watching made me feel very nervous. I prayed to God that day to help me  so that I can portray my role. That time came where I was about to cry. And a big surprised to me that I really cried and I can feel something that made me sad. So there’s my pic crying for Jesus with Magdalene and Mother Mary :)

Here I was portraying as a dying woman that has "ketong" :)) during our rehearsal I was laughing all the time because my co Actresses and Actors were laughing too. They were copying my voice because they said that it has a funny tone when I'm delivering my lines here in this part :)

This is funny right? I'm a drunkard woman here. :)) And honestly I did this on the spot! :) I dunno what was my director was thinking that time that he made me this role on the spot. I was very nervous that time that I really don't know what to do. But I guess I did good here because after the show the people had this emotional stress where they remember me on this part. And also they were copying my voice :))

Where did it began?

Well, it actually began when I was in the 2nd grade. Our teacher let me and my classmates audition for the role of Sisa for our "sabayang pagbigkas". Fortunately I passed the audition and I played the role of sisa. At first I thought it was an embarrasment because the audience were laughing really hard. I didn't mind it and Fortunately we won :). Then when I'm in 3rd and 4th grade I won the 3rd place in Declamation Contest. At that time I was really enjoying the things that I do but I didn't realize that someday I will dream to be a Theater Actresss. When I stepped HighSchool that's time  that I've realized that Acting is my Passion and that is what I love to do! :) In school we have lots of subject plays and most of my teachers admire how I act in a scene. And so that comments made my mind to pursue Acting. When I was in 3rd year Highschool we had a "Sisa Portion" it is graded and unfortunately they made me Act Sisa alone and my classmates Act Sisa all together. When they saw me Acting as Sisa they were amazed and clapping. Our teacher in Filipino was like having good comments and I was flattered that time and it feels good to hear good comments from other people :) And so when I reached 4th year highschool we had a final exam in Filipino where we should make a role play about El Filibusterismo. Our teacher given me 3 roles here. And one of my role is funny because of Donya Victorina's voice :) My other two roles here is Imuthis and Hermana Bali. The Play was successful and everyone in our school likes it. And everybody was like copying my voice when I played the role of Donya Victorina. For me it was a compliment because atleast as a graduating student that time I left something that they will rememeber me :)

Yeeeeaaah so here are my pictures portraying my different roles in our El Filibusterismo Play
