Description
Summary:Perfectly Imperfect is a musical show about the stories of DLSU Integrated School Senior High School victims of body shaming told anonymously through musical theater. With the stories of the victims collected through a focus group discussion and review of related media, a narrative and five songs are created in hopes of spreading awareness and helping the victims heal from being body shamed. This research aims to send a message to body shaming victims hoping to empower them using musical theater. The musical theater elements, namely actors, text, lighting, music, clothing, director and choreography, were observed throughout the whole process. The results of this research did not empower the students rather they felt a sense of familiarity and had a connection with the characters as their stories were collected and made into a musical show.
