Curtain call...
I want to say that from the moment they stood on the stage, I was very happy, very excited, very emotional, and the tears couldn't stop flowing, not because The plot is not because of the story, just because they are standing on the stage.
I just like to watch them shine, I like to appreciate the way each child enjoys themselves on the stage, and I like them to use their immature lives to continuously interpret classics and convey the understanding of life gestures. We just like them to perform their own plays, not to win the applause of others, but because we want to achieve ourselves through performance and have a special experience and a special childhood.
True learning is accomplished through one's own experience, and only things that truly enter life can leave a mark on them. Some people say that defining "Macbeth" as a conflict between desire and morality is too superficial, but I think for a fifth-grade child, the important thing is not what Shakespeare wants to convey, but what we want to understand through the classics. What to get. For me, these classics are meant to help children understand life itself through "it".
The witch’s prophecy, the seed of Macbeth’s inner desire, and the lady’s encouragement step by step push Macbeth onto the path of regicide. From then on, the conflict between desire and morality has been entangled back and forth in his life. , until he is sent to "death".
Maybe they cannot express their opinions rationally when analyzing Macbeth and Lady Macbeth, nor can they position his complex character traits well, but they will understand that when a life is changed, Controlled by power and controlled by desire, people will fall into a bottomless abyss and cannot find the way home. They will be in endless fear, fear, and doubt all day long. Macbeth loses himself in the repeated entanglement of morality and desire. Human nature is swallowed up by nothingness. Lady Macbeth continues to frame herself in the face of expanding power. She adds fuel to the flames, but in the end she still dies in depression due to uneasy conscience. The good and evil of human nature are vividly reflected.
They still can't express their opinions as clearly as I can. Maybe they can, because I didn't try today, but through my voice, demeanor, expression, movements, eyes, and language, I know, This time travel will give them a romantic perception of certain things, which will lay the foundation for their lives at some point in the future.
Our "Macbeth" came to an end on Friday. For me, it was just the end of an event, but for them, it was a profound life experience. Maybe they will encounter similar choices more or less in the future, I hope it can be enlightening.
For the first time in our "big play", we skipped the process of reading the "book" (knowing that this is wrong), directly read the revised "script", and then read it by ourselves The original script, various Baidu, analyzed each character, discussed the theme, understood the role, and began the road of "interpretation" of this drama.
This time, from the beginning of the casting, I had nothing to do with it... That day, I was sitting on the side of the classroom, and he was sitting in the audience, listening to everyone campaigning on the podium, and watching each one intently. He listened carefully to every line, his eyes showed different emotions, excitement, seriousness, heaviness, joy... At that moment he entered the role of director.
I gave him a well-trained team, but controlling the overall situation, making reasonable arrangements, and providing effective guidance are still his abilities, and being respected and trusted is still his personality charm.
This play was completed by themselves. As a director, organizer and guide, Yin is much more skillful than last year's "The Little Prince". The children said that my guidance was often the same as Yin's. So I stopped giving guidance later on and just let them play and act on their own.
Because the director chooses the roles himself, most of the characters with more lines are from people who have participated in the role before. I complained a little, but he said that he should consider the whole play and said that this play must have the right characters. Only a deep understanding of the character is enough to be competent. I was speechless and let him make the decision, but I am still very grateful for his seriousness in selecting roles and his strict requirements for each actor.
Three weeks,... a drama of more than an hour. I just want to say that I admire their ability to memorize lines. They are so spicy, but they are all "unusual lines". Two At noon, after getting familiar with the lines, the rehearsal of the drama began...
The small podium in the classroom is their stage, and the only small open space in the library is also the stage. Different performances are performed The method, the naturalness and proficiency of changing scenes are not only the organization of Yin, but also the well-trained and high-level consciousness of all the participating Lily Flowers.
For the lines, figure out the voice, speaking speed, movements, and expressions, practice and correct them continuously. The first week passed like this. In the second week, due to the grade poetry meeting, the director application was suspended for a week. After that, I started to accompany them at noon in the second week. I watched them perform and occasionally gave my own suggestions. , I will be accepted, and I will be ignored. Until Friday, after participating in the sixth grade forum, I entered the classroom and Jiujiu was performing the last scene. At that moment, I was really amazed...
In the afternoon, I watched the whole play for the first time, and I was so drawn into it that I forgot about the calligraphy class in the afternoon and just continued to play it until the end without saying a word. Then I decided that I must play it next week. good.
I walked on the stage for the first time last Tuesday morning, which was okay, and then I told the children that they would not work overtime at noon this week. During the self-study stage rehearsal of two plays on Wednesday night, the idea that this was okay suddenly disappeared. I don’t know what I felt was missing. There were a few parts of the “monologue” that I couldn’t get into. The first Lady Macbeth was too quick to talk. Because it was too fast, many words were decompressed to varying degrees along with the ambition and weakness that they should have. Macbeth in the third act was too generous, and Macbeth's inner fear and entanglement were thrown away, or in other words, he could not feel it from his words. His entanglement and fear of facing Banquo's soul, the assassination scene, Macduff's reaction after Duncan was killed, and so on.
So at noon on Thursday, I started to interfere in a real sense. I reread the script, analyzed it again, directly informed my understanding, and deducted a few protagonists’ lines. Just a little click, and they understood it. . With constant speculation and interpretation, it can be seen from their "expression" that their understanding of the characters is becoming more and more detailed and more and more in place.
They had their last rehearsal the night before the performance. The classroom was quiet and enthusiastic, and I was very relieved.
After the evening self-study, Qiaoqiao took a few girls to clean the conference room and prepare for the performance. Zhang Yi, Lele, and Zhao Ying tried out the big screen, PPT, adjusted the sound, and tried out the microphone.
Everything is ready.
The show started on Friday morning, and various busy figures on the stage were each preparing for the performance in their own positions... I stepped off the stage and was still their audience, admiring the "shining lights" on the stage. " of them.
The end is not the real end, but the beginning of another journey...
The curtain call is not the real curtain call, but about entering another stage...
Goodbye, Macbeth!
