Commedia dell'Arte's characters: Pulcinella!

Stereotypical Italian. Wants to sleep, be lazy, and eat Italian foods like Pizza, spaghetti. Has a big long nose, has a pot belly, and a hump. I find it interesting that he is a goofy stereotypical Italian, but sometimes he is recognized as the symbol of wisdom by the Naples.

Innamorati are the romantic leads of the Commedia dell'arte plays. They are typically young and in love, facing obstacles in their pursuit of happiness. Characters like Flavio and Isabella represent the Innamorati.

APJ task

28thorpee1_1 — 2023-11-07 03:33:38 UTC

In my performance, I used VOICE, and STANCE. For voice, I made it sound like a worried expression, sometimes horrified, from the action from arlecchino. For stance, I didn't do a good job as I was slouching and looking at the script all the time. I added some expressions for my scenes.

28thorpee1_1 — 2023-11-17 01:15:02 UTC

This is the movement, and stance, and walk of the character Flavio. He stands broad, and straight, while he moves like a flamingo, or often takes little steps towards the lover. His hands are loose, and fluttery.

Commedia Reflection

28thorpee1_1 — 2024-01-09 02:55:48 UTC

I would like to develop on memorization as I forgot my line during mid performance. I also would like to work on acting more as I was boring and not in character.
