Name:
Dominic Chan

Jockey Club Ti-I College
Past experience:
I
haven't had that much experience except in my school's drama club.
Previously I've played somewhat minor roles, the best roles I've had is a
triad member, an idiot, and this kind of sadistic, evil big brother.
This is by far the most professional and interesting production I've
been in. The cast is awesome, the Director is awesome. I have a
surprising number of kisses to blow, and I have perfected the technique.
What is your role and how would you describe your character in the play?
Lysander
is a dreamy, poetic kind of guy who is rather rubbish and does not have a
clear goal in life. But he definitely knows how to charm women and
write poems and act really poetic. He's like that guy in your high
school literature club who uses big words but isn't useful in any
situation.
Do you see yourself in your role?
No definitely not. The only thing is I like to write poems, but I definitely do not know how to charm women. Personality wise I'm closer to Demetrius, I'm not the most creative person.
If you're so different does that make the role difficult?
My drama teacher once said, "It's easy to act something you're not because you don't feel embarrassed doing it." I won't say it's easier necessarily, since the production is so professional, but it's easier than acting a character who is very similar to me, as it will be hard to accept your own weaknesses. So it's not that difficult acting Lysander, I just have to act dreamy and dumb.

Do you enjoy acting?
Yes a lot! Of course there's the part about being the spotlight, being in front of the media with awesome sunglasses and all that. But the best part is being someone other than yourself and having the chance to do something you've always wanted to try, and people won't judge you because of it's a play. You will never, ever, catch me wearing a purple tie in real life. I've always wanted to dress eccentric but was afraid people will laugh.

Of course since I'm rather young, and like I said I'm not that good at charming women...but if you really want to know, the idea of being in love is an interesting experience. Lysander's love is not really my idea of true love. He likes Hermia because she's pretty, but he doesn't see that she is a control freak and might change after they're married. Love as I know from reading about it, as a concept, will be to accept the other person's weaknesses, while not loving all of them, make them more attractive to myself. That's what I read from all those weird, romantic stories that my sister made me read (because they're useful).
