This week the 8th grade continues their exploration of the Commedia Dell Arte stock characters. They will create a scene with two lazzi or (comic bits) that they develop. They will select a character to "specialize" in and work on the characters movement. they will explore their character's biography through creating a monologue.
This week we will learn about the Commedia characters Capitano, Zanni, Tataglia, and Dottore and Brighella. We will work on a series of lazzi for these characters ( small comic bits). We will explore how the actors in Commedia collaborated.
This week we will be finishing Midsummer Night;s dream and we will begin a new unit on Commedia Dell Arte. We will learn about the history and the style of this art form. We will begin to explore masks and the stock characters.
