Year 8 Commedia dell’arte group scenes▼

Year 8 explored the Italian genre of Commedia dell’arte through their Art of Comedy unit. First applying their research skills to an investigation of Commedia stock characters, students then formed groups and presented a Commedia scenario to their Year 8 peers. The old men, Pantalone, Il Dottore and Il Capitano, appeared, as did the young lovers, Flavio and Isabella, and the zanni (servant and clown characters), Arlecchino, Colombina, Brighella and Pedrolino, in hilarious and sometimes confusing situations.

Year 9 Shakespeare Monologues▼
The Grade 9 Students were to choose, study, learn, rehearse, and perform a monologue from an original Shakespearean play text. The students needed to: interpret, shape, select, structure, and show insight into their role as actors as well as to work with a director on their monologues. Notes were taken and scripts annotated will show the interpretation, shaping, and selection of ideas and insight. (Arts Process Journal). Performing with flair (confidence and control) and showing good awareness, understanding and control of the style of play their monologue is from.  They are consistently engaging with their audience and therefore, are using strong voice, body, and posture to keep their audience engaged with them.

Year 10 “Antigone” – an Ancient Greek play meets Tadashi Suzuki, a Non-Western Theatre style▼
学生们要研究、学习、排练和表演铃木忠志的现代日本戏剧形式，然后将他们的肢体戏剧训练与一篇古文结合起来。学生必须：排练、学习并表演 10 种走步和 4 种基本姿势。保持良好的参与度、专注力和积极倾听。运用上述技能参加课内和公开表演。如九月所见。.
Students then needed to: go through the audition process, annotate their scripts, learn their choreography/blocking, and design their CREW duties (mask, costume, promotional poster, introductory PPT, and curating a soundtrack). Plus,  interpret, shape, select, structure, and show insight into their role as an artist’s reflection writing (Arts Process Journal), shaping the selection of ideas, and insight.  finally performing with flair (confidence and control) and showing good awareness, understanding, and control of the style.

We look forward to our Year 7 Theatre students performing their ‘Reader’s Theatre’ version of ‘Macbeth’ on 14 December.
