By Writers’ Guild EXCO’22

Heya, we’re the EXCO of Writers’ Guild (often abbreviated as WG), and we’re here to share more about our CCA with you, prospective applicant!

Writers’ Guild is an open and inviting CCA with free and easy commitment requirements, allowing you to flex your creative muscles. Our CCA day (singular) is Monday, where we hold short sessions up to one hour and a half in length to help our writers get their creative juices flowing!

For any prospective members, be assured that we don’t need any prior experience— just a willingness to write and the ability to keep an open-mind to anything we encounter during CCA. Feel free to apply to us in conjunction with a second CCA as a low-intensity side venture.

This is it. Your opponent has just finished to a resounding round of applause, gracefully taking their seat as all eyes turn expectantly onto you. You glance through once more at the points hurriedly scribbled on your cue cards and the frantic tracking of whatever your opponents have just said. You are convinced they are wrong, and it’s time to prove it. With a well-practiced front of confidence and bravado, you hammer into your opponent’s flimsy arguments with sharp wit, fiery rhetorical flair and unassailable facts and logic.

Except you haven’t, apparently, because you are instead met with quizzical looks from the audience members. It seems that for all your rebuttals, constructive material, analysis and structural reasons, you’ve managed to forget one crucial detail that underpins the entirety of your case.

In the Performing Art Centre reception area, where carpeted floors meet the thundering stomps of dancers, 14 dancers stand ready for their next routine. Beneath the oversized shirts and cargo pants, each dancer masks their fear, their nerves, their worries. As the anticipation swells, the music crescendoes with the echoing bass of the speaker, which sputters out a steady melodic rhythm. With the music filling the air, the dancers get ready to begin.  

Welcome to Raffles Street Dance!

Think about being able to jump into a refreshing pool of water after a long, tiring day of school. Think about having a lot of laughs as you throw a ball around in the pool with your friends who you’ll soon call family. Think about having an unforgettable CCA experience in JC. If any of that sounds appealing to you, we’re sure you’ll enjoy being a part of the Raffles Water Polo family!
