Monday 2nd June
Warm Up: Cowboys and Indians (Already completed)
Activity: Individual Acting out with different commedia masks
Individual acting out with different commedia masks:
In this activity we were required to choose a mask from commedia theatre that ‘spoke to us’, and with this mask we must act out the character we believe the mask portrays and communicate it through the questions the teacher asks us. I personally found it hard to let the mask choose me, but I eventually chose one mask that struck me. The mask looked very dopey and stupid in a sense because of the visual characteristics on his face like a large confronting nose, circle shaped face and small eyes. I took the role as a lonely young boy who is over excited by the overload in human interaction. With the questions that were asked like “how are you? “Are you excited?” I involved the audience and expressed my enthusiasm by using a deep voice, wonky laugh and a heavy walk.
I definitely enjoyed this opportunity especially when I realised the way this I took on the character was very similar to the intentions of the real character. I hope to get the chance to complete this activity again with a new mask and see how my perspective of it compares to the main perspective. ‘

Warm Up: Being a restoration character
Activity: Prime Minister’s Dinner and feedback
Being a Restoration Character: In this warm up we were required to play a character from the restoration period. We had to be emotionally invested in the character in order to influence the audience by our emotions. We were asked to play a character like ‘a person late for work’ and gradually we were asked to increase the energy of our character if it means running faster or using our actions more vigorously. I particularly enjoyed this warm up
