JUNE Ptrogamme!!!
12:41 am
Hi guys!!!
Just to inform the Sec 1-3s, the rehearsals will get more intense so please be as serious as possible!!! Unfortunately, we have not received any news about the National Drama Skit Competition so they may have cancelled it this year. Nevertheless, we have to open the show in June so a lot of work is needed!!! I have to make plans for the rest of the year as well. I'm suggesting that we have mini-camp in June for all Sec 1-3s (Sorry Sec 4s! O level crunch time!!) You guys will be having rehearsals on 9th June (Friday) So my suggestion is that we have a mini-camp starting the morning of Thurs 8th June or Wed 7th June. The contents of the camp are as follows:
1. Creating workshop for open house and end of year camp. We have to come up with some skills to teach the other students in the other performing arts groups. It can be improvisation skills or breathing techniques or projection, etc. I'll be getting the Sec 3s and 4s to come back and be the 'teachers' but we must try the lesson plans out on our own members to see if it works first.
2. Planning workshops and workspace for ELDDS - there are a lot of new props/costumes that have to be laid out and stored properly. We also need to start planning for next year's workshops. I hope to be able to include all of you in the planning process
3. Creation of new T-shirt and ELDDS log book
4. Possible Esplanade Tour or Tour of Art Venues
Do provide feedback to me on the tagboard asap. I need a reply by end of the week so that I can start planning.
Many thanks!

Sec 4 Play outing!!!
12:34 am
Hi again. There is an opportunity to see a show 'A beautiful companion' for free the following friday 7 Apr 3pm at the Arts House a.k.a. The Old Parliament House. If I get more than 10 people I can book a bus. It's actually pay-as-you-like which means we'll probably be watching a full-dress rehearsal. I will pay a nominal fee but I need numbers so that I can inform the director whom I know how many seats to set aside for us. Haziqah is in-charge of numbers. DO NOT BACK OUT after you have made your decision. We should be able to make it back in time for prize-giving. Here is the blurp about the show:
TheatreWorks presents
A Beautiful Companion
Taking you on an emotional roller coaster ride of pathos and laughter.
A Beautiful Companion is a moving drama about how two women cope with a 'gentleman' enters into and threatens to break apart their 15-year-old relationshop. Opening old wounds and exposing new insecurities, he forces them to make hard choices about their bitter-sweet life together.
Reccomending it to all Sec 4 ELDDS and Literature students.
Deadline to sign up is Wed 29th March to Haziqah 4A
more in next post...

Urgent things on hand!!! Kranji Idol
12:21 am
Hi guys!
It's been a really busy term. The Sec 4s are involved in their final project of their 'reign' - Kranji Idol! Sec 4s wakey wakey!!! Time to get back to work! New update!
There will be NO rehearsal for Kranji band on the 28th March Tues.
The Kranji Bands (only 3 if I'm not wrong) will battle it out on the 29th March, Wed. While the other are just auditioning to enter Kranji Idol Group finals on 3/4 Apr respectively.
There will only be ONE winner for Kranji Band. But the top two bands will play for the respectively Kranji Idol finals during assembly.
I will be making a proper announcement on Monday. Thanks to Jo and Neddely for making the announcment for me while I was at staff meeting, but there was some confusion so I'll make another announcement to clear things up.
OK... more stuff in next post...
XOXO

Welcome to 2006
6:19 pm
Hi guys!!
Welcome to 2006!! This year is so exciting. We kicked off with the Sec 4's play 'Your Body, your choice'. It was really very well-received and I believe all the seniors believe that it was well-worth the effort. Their next project will be to MC and stage manage Kranji Idol for the Aesthetic Development Committee before stepping down. So sad! I've grown to love that bunch. I'm sure we'll all miss them. So juniors! time to start thinking about farewell parties!!!
It's so ironic that the last post was about Fairfield Methodist Sec's show "Mama looking for her cat" and now this new post is about our version of it!!
Just to clear the air. We are rehearsing this for a national skit competition as well as the June showcase at Ngee Ann Poly!! It's a 1000 seater venue so the audience will be really big! The theme for the showcase is called "Colours of Asia". The band, choir and dance groups are all doing pieces from the region. Our piece represents Singapore.
For those who don't know the story, it is really all about how we are neglecting the 'old' and our roots in our fast-pace, every changing society. Old memories, relationships and stories get left behind and are forgotten. Although this play was writte some time back, the story is still very prevalent in our society. We keep hearing about old people left rotting in their flats because noone is there to care for them or to discover that they have actually died.
I'm all excited. We're planning loads of stuff including a drama excursion and a visit to the esplanade!!
keep blogging! no teasing though! yes! that's the real ms tang blogging!!
lotsa love
ms tang

History
We are the
Drama group from
Kranji Secondary School,
K Productions Drama Team (KPDT). We started off as
Kranji’s
English Literary Drama and Debate Society (ELDDS) in 2002 but merged with the school’s
AVA/PA Club in
2008 to form
K Productions. Now, we are known as K Productions Drama Team while the AVA/PA Club is known as K
Productions Technical Team. We have over 50 members from Secondary One to Four and we are trained every week by a
professional trainer,
Mr Fita Helmi and our very own school teacher,
Ms Geraldine Tang, who is a Speech and
Drama teacher.
Aims & Objectives
Our aim is to provide our members with an all-rounded education in theatre skills.
K Productions Drama Team provides a holistic approach to Drama education. Not only do we train the students
on
acting, we ensure that our members are exposed to
all aspects of theatre, including
script writing and
even
production management. Our club members also learn about
lighting and sound, essential elements
needed for a possible and successful performance. Students are also taught to
direct their own plays.
For example, during our recent October double-bill, the play Over The Wall was directed by our very own
K Productions Drama Team member who was
guided by our trainer. Our students are strongly
encouraged to
create their own play which allows them to
stretch their creativity and leadership to the maximum and most
importantly,
work as a team. Through excursions and annual camps, we expose our students to different
components of drama. Our CCA also hopes to create an opportunity for our pupils to relax and engage one
another in a
creative English speaking environment. We are always on the look out for students
passionate
about the Arts.
