"Last term, the Year 8 cohort greatly enjoyed the Commedia dell鈥橝rte performance titled Venice in Love, presented by Make a Scene Theatre Company.
Throughout the performance, we learned about engaging an audience, improvisation techniques and character representation through exaggerated movements and dialogue. The experience expanded our understanding of various stock characters in Commedia dell鈥橝rte and how actors communicate these characters to the audience using accents, physicality, masks and costumes.
Watching Venice in Love immersed us in the world of Commedia dell鈥橝rte and inspired us for our own Commedia performances, which we are currently preparing to showcase later this term in our Drama classes." Alannah W, Year 8
