10/24/2018

10月24日(水)に記念ホールにおいて、鶴見大学英語英米文学科主催、White Horse Theatre による英語劇“Negibour’s Long Teeth”が行われました。本公演は異文化理解を学ぶ「英語コミュケーション概論B」の特別授業として実現しました。約60分の劇鑑賞と昼俳優陣をファシリテーターに少人数制のドラマワークショップを舞台上で行う機会を得ました。参加者全員、大変有意義な時間を過ごしました。観劇、ワークショップの詳細は下記の感想をお読みください。

(本事業は、科学研究費補助金 基盤研究(C) 「英語コミュニケーション力と協調的問題解決力を養成するドラマ教育の開発と体系化」17K04809の助成を受けています)

White Horse Theatreについて(プログラムから)
 
White Horse Theatreは、ドイツに拠点を置く、英語学習者対象の出張劇団です。同劇団は英国出身の若手俳優を擁し、1980年代からヨーロッパ各地ならびに日本・中国で子供から大人対象の本格的な演劇を出張公演しています。White Horse Theatreのレパートリーは、差別、異文化理解に関する本作品を含め、時代に左右されることのない人間社会の本質をえぐる作品が豊富です。全脚本を、かつて英語教員を務めたPeter Griffith氏が書き下ろしています。生き生きとした台詞はまさしく生きた教材です。場面に応じた分かりやすい台詞を聞いているうちに、それらが豊かで意味のあるインプットとなります。

芝居を演じている役者達は、ロンドンでの7日間にわたるオーディションを経て厳選された優秀な若手俳優です。しかも英語学習者対象という、自分たちの使命の自覚のもと、どんな役柄でも「本格的な演技」の範囲内で明瞭な発音、聞き取りやすいペースで発音します。また、舞台と俳優たちがつくりだすコンテクストにより、英語学習者にも容易に作品世界に入り、メッセージをつかみやすいことでしょう。
まずは、舞台を楽しんでください。観劇後、このドラマから異文化理解や交流について考えてみてください。

劇団俳優さんからのメッセージ
 
I had a lovely time working with the students! At first the students seemed a little shy to speak English themselves, however it was clear that they were understanding what we were saying. As the workshop began the students mentioned that they felt a little apprehensive about getting involved, but during the exercises I thought that they really came out of their shell participating and concentrating throughout. The students were very involved by the end of the workshop and started to speak English with Confidence describing their thoughts on cultural difference in front of the whole group. I found this to be such an amazing achievement! It was such a rewarding experience to see this change and I hope that the students found the workshop useful for their future encounters with the English language.
 
All my best,

ドイツに拠点を置き、英語学習者向けの出張劇団であるWhite Horse Theatreの劇、Neighbours with Long teethが、10月24日に記念館2階の地下ホールにて行われました。この作品は、主要人物となるスミス一家の隣に、吸血鬼が引っ越してくることから物語が始まります。スミス夫妻は、隣人が吸血鬼であることを知ると、怯えてしまうのですが、彼らの息子であるリックは、怯えるどころか、吸血鬼の娘フィリシアに好意を抱き始めます。

人種の差別や、考え方の違う両親との対立や、初々しさが感じられる恋愛など、私たちも実際に経験したような事も劇中で描かれ、微笑ましくもありながら、問題に真摯に向き合おうと思うようになった作品でした。また、英語も聞き取りやすく、観客を物語の中に引込むような役者の方々の演技だったため、初めて英語劇を鑑賞する人でも楽しむことができました。

昼休みの後に開催されたワークショップでは、前半に体を使っての自己紹介や、歩きながら英語での指示を聞き、指示に合わせた動作をする、喜怒哀楽を指定された割合で表現する練習といった、頭も働かせながら体を動かすアクテビティーを行いました。

後半では、昼前に行われた劇のテーマや内容について簡単に振り返り、役者の方々を含めた3~5人のグループに分かれ、英語で意見交換。参加した学生は、和気あいあいとした雰囲気で役者さん達と交流を深めていました。そして、振り返ったテーマから一つを選び、小芝居しました。どのグループも個性のある内容で、とても面白かったです。

最後に、White Horse Theatreの役者さんと職員の方々に總持寺の中を御案内。案内している途中でも、皆さんと世間話などをしてさらに交流を深め、和やかな雰囲気で1日を締めくくりました。

私にとっても初めての英語劇鑑賞だったのですが、物語の世界観や流暢な英語の発音を直接肌で感じて耳にすることができたので、見入って時間が経つのがあっという間に感じられました。こちらの劇団は、日本でも何度か公演されるとのことなので、来年度以降も時間を作って観劇に行きたいです!

1) The story

Even though some people may already have realized what the “Long Teeth” means, the story starts the scene when Richard (Rick) who is a teenage son of humans falls in love with Phylthia who is a daughter of vampires. They tried to be together as same as other human couples, however Rick’s parents (Mr. and Mrs. Smith) did not think that it was a good idea because being with her would disturb their high expectations on their son’s future. In addition, their prejudice for vampires also interrupted the relationship between Rick and Phylthia. Consequently, he argued with them and decided to leave the house.

After leaving the house, he went to her house (as she actually tempted him to get into there). But he felt confusion as there were two coffins in the room instead of any furniture and she drunk strange red drink in front of him. Then, one of the coffins started shaking and so she pressed him get in another coffin. At the same time when Rick closed the coffins door, her father came out of his coffin. He can be said that Vampire version of Rick’s father because he respects vampire tradition. Even though, he needs to take humans blood into his body, the style differs from modern vampires like his daughter. He went out somewhere else to find blood to suck (By the way, at this scene, there was an opportunity for students to join the play. Since my friend got the chance and she said it was fun after the show, so you will get a great experience like her when you are eager to do it).

Surprisingly, Mr. Smith trespassed her house to find his son and he appeared in front of the two, but he thought that he became a vampire as he stayed with her and he fainted. After that, his wife also entered the house without any permission to find Rick, but she fainted soon after she found his husband. Despite the situation, Phylthia respirated them quickly and they could recover. Although Mr. and Mrs. Smith guessed that we became vampires as they were kissed by a vampire, it was just a guess.After that, they sang a song together and it leads to the end of the show.
 
2) Review

This play features not only the importance of cross-cultural communication but other various things such as a generation gap (between Rick and his parents), so every audience may have different impressions after watching the play. For me, the most impressive scene is when Phylthia was staring by other people at a pub. After all, he screamed at them and left there. In fact, since I had a similar experience when I entered a place where there was no Asians in a foreign country, I did not think that it was another person’s problem. After the show, I tried to think of the feelings of the people who stared at me. Then, I found that the people may had anxiety or interesting which is based on race for me as I was a stranger, but all that kind of things can be happened anytime and anywhere as long as people do not understand and respect other cultures well. To conclude, I could think about why cross-cultural communication is important again through this drama.
 
3) Advice

If you are interested in English plays after reading above my review, I recommend you take part in many English activities aggressively. For first time, it may be difficult to understand all, but actors act with slow and clear English. Thus, it will be a good exercise to improve your listening skill. In particular, there may be very few opportunities to watch (Free!) English play in Japan, so you should not miss any chances.

Finally, I deeply appreciate everyone who read my long paragraph.

We joined an English derma workshop on Wednesday 24th October at 1:30 PM in Kinenkan ball Tsurumi University. Some students who joined the workshop got nervous.

First, we introduced our self after made circle, and we took action: “go”, “stop”, “jump” or “crap”. I got mixed up, for instructors who were group members said the reverse. Next, we talked about the drama in the morning. All participants played one scene at the drama. After that, we made 4 groups that each group should be in one of being in one of the group members. All small groups played role in a simple skit after they choose one theme from debated the drama. We also discussed each characteristic between Japan and the UK. I've never known Passengers on a bus in London spend the time to be quiet. It resembles in Japan. Finally, all group members and students shared each impression from the drama to the workshop. At that time students looked very enjoyable. Instructors gave them pictures with a sign. I appreciate you. Thank you very much. White house theater gave me some energy. I had a great time.

I also guided Sojiji after the workshop. Group members got breathing while seeing lots of buildings. I got used to use that place for going to a high school. It was relaxing for me to take a walk occasionally. I wish I go to Germany where is the group capital or to England where is their home.

A big thank you to all the ESS members for putting on an excellent display in Room 407 for the 2018 Tsurumi University Festival. The students created a number of original recipes in English and these could be seen by visitors looking for tips on cooking. There were also English materials on topics like Mary Shelley and famous pop stars, and even an orginal essay or two on show. Music was playing, too, with a wide variety of English-speaking songs to listen to, from artists like Steely Dan to The Beatles. The room was beautifully decorated with all the trappings of Halloween, and Spiderman was hanging around just outside, too. Talking of Spiderman, we all enjoyed singing the Spiderman song together and also we did a rendition of the Disney tune which is very seasonal right now: Grim Grinning Ghosts. Indeed, it was just in the middle of that song that Tsurumin and Tsurutan entered the EES Room and we could all have an exciting time. Thanks to all for your hard work and to everyone who came and visited ESS. You see, ESS is just the final three letters of.... HAPPINESS !!!!!!!!!!

英語ドラマ合宿参加記2018

10/1/2018

0 Comments

 
昨夏に引き続き、神奈川県内の4大学(鶴見大学、文教大学、湘南工科大学)、台湾の実践大学の学生、約30名が参加した「英語ドラマ合宿」が、風光明媚な三浦市内の研修施設にて行われました。本学からは2年生と4年生、4名の学生が参加し、海外からの5名を含めた他大学の学生・教職員と3日間寝食を共にし、楽しいインプロ・ゲーム、群読、オリジナル・ドラマづくりと発表に挑みました。体を動かして英語を話すだけでなく、ストーリーを創作するのに頭はフル回転。新しい友とのチームワークを築くなど、普段とは異なる豊かな体験をすることができました。
​
以下、参加者から寄せられた参加記と写真をどうぞご覧ください。来年の夏休みは、皆さんも美しい海を眺めながら英語をブラッシュ・アップできる合宿に参加してみませんか

I went to an English drama camp in Miura.  I was happy that I could go to this camp this year again. I could talk to foreign students in English.  We performed a hero story, and I played a heroine. It was very enjoyable!  I want to go to the camp next year again!
吉江 留美 2年生

It was my second time to take part in this camp. Every activity, time passed so quickly. I was sad to recognize that this was my last chance to enjoy using English like this.  I was attracted to create and perform our original story. It was difficult to say my opinion in English, but it also is a great chance to speak English and talk with students from other universities. I'd like to make use of these activities in some way. Thank you very much for everyone.

今回、私は初めて参加させて頂きました。初日は、三日間何をするのか緊張でいっぱいでした。しかしこの三日間みんなとゲームをしたり劇を考えたりと、とても楽しく過ごす事が出来ました。普段、大学では出会わない人だったり、やらない事だったり、全てが初めて尽くしであっという間の3日間でした。もっと英語を頑張って勉強して、沢山の人とコミュニケーションを取れるようになりたいと思いました。

四年生にして初参加しました。初めは他大学の学生との交流に戸惑いや緊張がありましたが、英語での早口言葉リレーをはじめ、沢山のレクレーションにより緊張も解け英語での遊びも楽しめました。他大学の学生とドラマを作る頃にはもうそろそろ終わってしまうのか、と少し寂しい気持ちもしました。
​
今までこのような事には参加を避けていましたが、今回参加して良かったなと思います。初めて会う学生といつもと違う環境で、英語でコミュニケーション取ることの楽しさを鶴見大学の学生にも知ってほしいです。ぜひ、来年参加してみてください!いい経験になるはず!
