WHO'S THE BOSS?, VIDEO AND SCENARIOS

5 feb 2014
so today we started off with a game called who,s the boss 
recounting - so in this game we needed to have 3 volunteers. the boss and two other employees. the boss has to take turns and ask questions to the employees. when the boss is talking to one person the other person can pull faces at the boss, but the boss can look at him any time and ask him questions so he just has to improvise from whatever pose/face he is pulling off. 
reflecting- this game was solely based on improvisation and your ability to think fast
conclusion- i didnt get to play this game. But watching other people helped me learn and gave me ideas on how to improvise on stage which is very helpful especially for my future performances.

next we watched a video on comedia Dell'arte, which made us familiar to the character and their masks, walks, movements etc. 
After the movie we did some individual character walks to introduce us to the comedia character walks. she told us to walk as various comedia characters.

After this we  got into our pizza groups and did some scenarios
recounting- we had to make up a scenario where each of us had to be different commedia characters.
reflecting- this allowed us to work on our improvisation skills and also made us familiar with the commedia characters, their walks and their movements .
conclusion- this activity helped me to know what i need to do more of in commedia, which  are the walks and it also helped me to  realize what i am good at which is blending into characters.
