Dairy of Experience (ANTIGONE)

 who would ever thought that a simple girl like me would be given such great honor to play the role of Ismene in the greek tragedy, ANTIGONE by Sopocles. YES! A girl named Michelle Kaye M. Imbong was the lucky girl ang that’s me! I am currently a third year student taking ug Bachelor of Secondary Education here in Mindanao State University. I invested my high school years at Lagao National High School and i never had any regrets on it.

          i never imagined myself acting in front of many people, it’s shameful! But, i think it is my destiny. Hopefully! Haha. I remember when i was growing up, i would sometimes find myself zoning out in front of the mirror as i stare at myself and starts crying like an actress being hit by her antagonist. I know its ridiculous that’s why i quit doing it. Talking about my role makes me feel a bit awkward. I was chosen by Sir Larry to play the role of Ismene. Ismene is the sister of Antigone, who is so weak. Her main role is to cry and cry, and unfortunately it is so NOT me.

         i had a hard time dealing with the internalization of the character. There was a time, during our practice. Sir Larry scolded me because my acting was not so convincing. His words motivates me that’s why i made a promise to give my best on the technical rehearsal. I focused myself on studying and internalizing my role that’s why during the technical rehearsal they said that i have improve. So i continued it until on the play dates. During the first performance, i gave my 100 percent and i felt good because my colleagues noticed it. But, after that first performance, my colleagues told me that my acting was not so convincing like i were on the first performance. I practiced so hard to regain my performance. As a result, my last and final performance was a SUCCESS! We, the antigone group 2, gave our best on the last performance. I could say that, it was our best performance EVER!
         we celebrated the success of our play. i will truly miss everyone especially Fluer, our Antigone. She is an exchange student for Belgium. I considered her as my true sister. We may never see each other again but i know we will always be on each others heart. Antigone group 2 loves Fluer so much and she will always be in our hearts.

        HOORAY for Antigone group 2, a job well done! Let’s give ourselves a BIG round of applause! YEHEY!
