Year 10 Drama Commedia Dell’Arte

In the last two weeks, Year 10 Drama students have had fun playing with masks and creating performances in the style of the Commedia Dell’Arte.  Literally translated as Comedy of the Artist, this performance style uses elements of mask, caricature and improvised dialogue. The students worked in groups to create their own original scenarios and experiment with ways of portraying the character of the masks.
