Wanyuan | Chinese Classical Drama Performance

Through thousands of years, we saw much grief at separation and joy in union.

The “Poetry Recitation” in the sixth grade seemed to linger in our ears. The “Poetry Conference” in the seventh grade seemed to be on the sage. On the evening of March 25, the “classical drama performance” was unveiled in the SUIS Wan Yuan Thespis Hall after a preparation for about one month. Teacher, parents and students gathered together to appreciate a wonderful show presented by Grade 8 students.

8A performed the classic Yuan Opera “Snow in Midsummer” for us.

In Guan Hanqing’s works, Dou’e is a female model who is slaughtered by people. At the bottom of society, she has nowhere to complain, but she never gives up. She caused three years of snow and drought in June, in order to announce her grievances. The snow not only fell on Dou’e, but also in the hearts of everyone…

8B interpreted the classic story “Jing Ke assassinating the King of Qin”.

This is a journey of ill-fortune and hopelessness. When Jing Ke drew the dagger to King Qin, success or failure is not so important anymore, because that moment is destined to become the eternal history…

8C performed “Mulan”, a well-known folk tale that has been passed down through ages.

At home, she is a virtuous and gentle Mulan, while on the battlefield, she is a heroine who fought bravely for her family and the community.

What we saw was the brave young general, and also the charming girl in the boudoir.

Students of 8D performed this great love tragedy in their unique way!

Liu Lanzhi and Jiao Zhongqing can only suicide together to practice their great vows. A sad story makes people sigh.

The thousands of feelings and sorrows of a couple are vividly reflected in the 8E interpretation of Chai Tou Feng.

This is the tragic story of the famous patriotic poet Lu You and his cousin Tang Wan. They loved each other deeply, but were separated by Lu’s mother.

When the two met unexpectedly seven years later, all kinds of thoughts and feelings seemed to freeze time and space, leaving only a lifetime of love! The amorous Chai Tou Feng made the audience sigh.

Class 8F brought one of the four tragedies of Yuan Dynasty ” Autumn in Palace”.

Wang Zhaojun’s life was full of ups and downs and full of legends. Whether it is for the peace of the country’s borders, or for the country of Emperor Han Yuan, Zhaojun’s figure is lost in the long river of history… She used her life to outline the misfortune of a feudal dynasty woman.

On the stage, every performance witnessed the charm of drama. Off-stage, smiles can be seen everywhere. The interpretation and re-interpretation of traditional classic dramas displayed the sparks by the collision between students and Chinese classical culture. The show has come to an end, but the wonder goes on. Students have learned to be a better self.

《孔雀东南飞》出演有感

在短短一个月的时间里，我们从不知从何下手，表演的青涩稚嫩，到最后舞台上的收放自如，各个流程的井然有序，让我深深感受到了团队合作的力量。记得在彩排时，初次接触换场、佩戴麦克风的我们乱成一锅粥。但在正式演出时，刚完成戏份下场的我，一回头，看到台上所有的道具竟然都摆放得整整齐齐，正如我们演出前所期盼的那样完美，那一瞬间我心里涌出一种特别的感动，我为班级每一个同学的付出而感动。虽然在排练过程中我们遇到了不少问题，但也正是解决这些问题的过程让我们越来越默契，正是每一次思维火花的碰撞，才得以呈现出一个近乎完美的舞台。

这次的活动为我们的初中生活添上了浓墨重彩的一笔，也将我们同学之间的情谊酿成了一杯甜美的酒。

《孔雀东南飞》排练有感

戏剧演出已落下帷幕，回想起这一个月的排练，我心中五味杂陈，感慨万千。从前我对“导演”这一角色的认知仅仅停留在电影的片尾，而经过这次《孔雀东南飞》的排练，我也体会了一把做“导演”的艰辛。从演员的表演细节，到道具的安排，灯光的配合，所有的工作都离不开导演的统筹。除此之外，作为一个导演，还要对每一个角色的个性特点做到烂熟于心，要对剧本表达的情感了然于心。也只有如此，才能真正做好、做细、做精一部戏。

最后，我想感谢老师们在这一个月中，为我们排练的付出；也要感谢家长们在道具、服装等方面的支持；当然，最要感谢的是同学们的支持和配合，这次的成功，是所有人一同努力的结果！

《窦娥冤》排练有感

3月24日下午的联排效果着实让人堪忧。那是演出之前唯一且最后一次加麦加灯光、PPT、道具的大型联排。“道具速度跟不上” “道具偏台” “PPT仍有问题”“追光应该怎么打” “电脑外放声音是否无误”。这所有的细节都让人堪忧。那一晚，缠绕在脑海中的这些问题让我久久不能入睡。然而结果证明，一切的努力都没有白费。演出几乎没有任何差错，大家的表演都很有感染力，后台的同学也非常给力！灯光熄灭的一瞬间，后台搬道具的同学速度堪比神速，在后台目睹了这一切的我不禁热泪盈眶……那一刻我明白：我们赢了，我们成功了。只想说，这么热烈的掌声，8A值得！

《钗头凤》出演有感

这次的古典戏剧表演可以说是我初中生活最难忘的一个活动了。当我拿到唐婉这个角色的时候，一开始很是兴奋和自信，以为自己一定能把这个角色演好。可是当开始排练时，我就犯难了。这个角色台词虽然不多，但那种温婉、痴情的性格实在太难演绎出来了。特别是唐婉与陆游10年后沈园重逢，唐婉抑郁而终，完全要靠动作来展示了，对于没有舞蹈经验的我来说，每次想方设法变换动作，总是引来同学们的哄笑，我也认为太尴尬了。唉，先前的自信早已不复存在了，甚至想到放弃。回到家中，我把我的苦恼告诉了妈妈，妈妈鼓励我，并建议我上网上看看名家的舞台剧是如何演绎的。于是，多少次放学后，我急匆匆做完作业，就一个人面对镜子，挥舞长袖，想象唐婉肝肠寸断的样子，终于，总算像模像样了。正式演出的日子到了，没有想到，道具组忘记给我擦拭眼泪的手帕了。情急之下我把一旁忘记撤下去的茶当作酒喝了下去。并急中生智添加了一句台词“表兄，我们最终还是错过了”没想迎来了老师的赞赏。

经此表演，我终于知道了什么叫“台上十分钟，台下十年功”。这是我初中生活中最难忘的一段美好经历。
