This week, we had an unusual schedule due to our history test.
Anyways, this week me and my group (denise, valerie, joyce) made a scenario for our troup skit for Commedia. We have to perform it next week. :S
It was a really cool combination because the characters who are being played are Pantalone (me), Brighella (Denise), Columbine (Valerie) and Arlecchino (Joyce). Since Combine and Arlecchino likes each other it can make a really cool effect on the skit (the skit can include love), that also might make Pantalone really angry, because he is the sort of guy that gets grumpy really easily (well actually he is grumpy...naturally). Plus, Brighella is just kind of annoying and too happy for the other characters in the skit.
I think the scenario is kind of good and kind of funny. The major issue now, is that when we acted it out it was too short, it's supposed to be 5-8 minutes, which we only performed around 1 minute. We are trying to make it longer by getting more into the character.
I'm pretty nervous and excited at the same time about the performance.
Something easy was acting the skit and practicing with the group. :D
Good luck to everyone!

Dec. 4, 2009
This week in Drama, we were researching about our Commedia Characters.
My character is the famous, Pantalone.
I thought of my scenario, and thought it was pretty funny and that situation might happen to Pantalone. We had to use that scenario and perform in front of the whole class on Friday, I was really really nervous, since it was a solo monologue.
I practiced the whole week, and something I found hard was... learning how to do Pantalone's voice and his movements. It was wasn't as hard to do his movements, but it was hard to sustain them, and keep the movements like that for the whole 1-2 minutes.
Something easy was thinking of the scenario. It was fun imagining what Pantalone would do, and what the audience would think of the situation.
When I performed it, I was nervous at the last minute. Luckily I practiced it many times, so it didn't turn out that bad.
At the middle of doing it I relaxed more, because it felt like I knew what I was doing and what my character is trying to do too. It was much easier than what I thought it would be like. So that was good.... :)
Next week we are going to work on our "troupe project"
My group is....Brighella, Columbine, Puchinella, and me (Pantalone)
I think this group is really interesting, and I hope we will think up something really funny. :D
