However, I seemed a little odd that the setting was just describing the scenery of the play itself with curtains and we are introduced to the stage manager for the play. The Stage Manager explains significant parts within the play like, scenery, landmarks, and certain objects. Few pages in, we’re finally introduced to two actual character in the play itself. Joe Crowell Jr. and Dr. Gibbs are the characters we are introduced to. As explained by the Stage Manager, Crowell was a college graduate from Massachusetts Tech.

  • Drama Commedia Dell Arte Analysis

    479 Words  | 1 Pages

    Commedia Dell ‘Arte is a style of theatre that orignated in Italy during the 16th centuary. The plays were almost always performed in large outdoor public spaces, such as a town plaza, and instead of relying heavily on elaborate scenery, used props such as the batocchio. The batocchio translates as the “slap stick”, and the batocchio was essentialy two wooden boards which would hit each other when the batocchio was whacked against a person, creating a large audio effect, yet actually not causing serious injury to the person being hit. Another key element of Commedia Dell ‘Arte was the extensive use of masks, which allowed actors to immediately define themselves as one of the few stock characters of the play, although the fact that the masks were half masks enabled facial expressions to still be utilised to create an appropriate atmposphere. The masks were completely extravegant, and complemented the equally ridiculous costumes and style of acting well. Commedia Dell ‘Arte differed from many previous types of theatre in the fact that the performances were improvised. This held many advantages, such

    Technical Theatre class was a great learning experience for me. When I first signed up for the class, I wasn’t really looking forward to it. I had always been quite clumsy, and I’d never been very handy; so I didn’t think I would be of much use to the set building process. However, before the building process began, the class was taught how to properly and safely use power tools. Being educated on how to handle the equipment made me feel a lot more confident. Now, I’m proud of myself because I ended up getting a lot of work done that I didn’t think I was capable of.

    I’ve learned to appreciate the beauty of how theater is more than a mere performance, but rather an artform with nuance and depth. My knowledge on theatrical styles has expanded and some of my favorites we have studied in class are Brechtian and Chinese theatre styles. I grew up participating in musical theatre, but never had the opportunity to truly learn the history and details of the craft. After studying RENT, I am inspired by the various possibilities for theater beyond acting, singing, and dancing. Theater can be used for activism or as a form of commemoration. Theater is relevant by communicating issues to the world. Theater is so much more than a dramatic presentation. The theater that I have come to appreciate the most are the performances that relay a greater purposeful message about society amidst the theatricals on

    Before I started Introduction to Theatre class, I had been only to a couple of plays in my life. Just in this semester I’ve been to about ten plays and have learned so much about the art of theatre. The information I retained from class will help out a lot in the future, but the most important part of this class was the shadowing experience of A Midsummer Night’s Dream. With being able to get an inside look at this play during rehearsal and then going to see the performance was an incredible experience. By going to the rehearsal and then seeing the show, I was able to learn and understand more on how the theatre works. From there, I could understand the long process the actors and directors have to go through before the opening show happens.
