Commedia Reflection

Congratulations on a highly successful performance last night!! I received numerous compliments specifically on your commedia! Bravo!!

Please take some time to think about and reflect on the Commedia Scenes:

Festival Reflection

Discuss the festival that you saw last night. What act(s) stood out? Explain what the act and how it affected YOU as both a spectator and performer.  Be sure to also reflect on Spontaneous Teaching, the improvised scene by Mr. Kelly & Ms. Accomazzo. How did watching the scene deepen your understanding of improvisation?

Your Performance
Discuss your performance last night and how it went. Discuss the group, as well as your individual performance. What did you think you did well? What might you do a bit better if you could go back and perform again?

Devising & Rehearsal
Discuss how you created your scene and your character. How did you come up with what you did? How did you personally create the character? What were some of the strengths of your team? What was a problem that you encountered? How did you solve it? (Or if you didn't, how might you go back and change it if you could?)

Understanding & Realizations
Now that we have completed the Commedia unit, what did you learn?  What realizations do you have? How do you think Commedia dell'Arte grew your understanding of IMPROV?
