Commedia Dell'arte reflection.

Today on class we were interpreting the different characters that compose a commedia dell'arte. First we started interpreting Il Zani which is a stupid character is very curious about everything and as you said it has a strange pose and everything is guided by his nose, his entire body is guided by the nose. It was very fun to interpret this character, it can be dum but it is not easy at all to interpreter him because it has to be very close to the people and needs to have a very strong sense of humor.
After we interpreted the lovers which are characters whit a strong sense for love and passions, they are characterized because they wear fashionable clothes are young, graceful and attractive they are also in love with themselves and are sincere characters. We as a class try to develop them in a good way but it wasnt easy because people werent comfortable with the concept but at the end it was all good and in my concept it was better than the zanni, i didnt like the zanni because it was a complete mess and no one was able to interpret it in a good way
