Today is National Live Creative Day! Though like many of these silly holidays you could say we live creative every day, especially when preparing or staging many of our fantastical commedia dell'arte productions!

Last month at Pennsic 53 during our biggest show of the year, the local witch was brewing some special elixirs to aid in whatever ails you, be you old miser Pantalone wishing to survive his wedding night with infamous black widow Vittoria, the timid Oratio who needs more confidence to marry his beloved Isabella who is currently disguised as a traveling swordsman, or the foolish Arlecchino who will eat anything!

Check back soon to find what strange and beastly reactions occurred in the full video of i Verdi Confusi's first performance from our #Inktober writing challenge, "Pasquella's Powerful Potions"!

Three weeks ago tonight at Pennsic 53 during our biggest show of the year, the local witch was brewing some special elixirs to aid in whatever ails you, be you old miser Pantalone wishing to survive his wedding night with infamous black widow Vittoria, the timid Oratio who needs more confidence to marry his beloved Isabella who is currently disguised as a traveling swordsman, or the foolish Arlecchino who will eat anything!

The plot of nearly every full three-act commedia dell'arte spins around the romantic quests of the young amorosi. So just over six years ago when everyone had to social distance and everything went virtual so did love for Isabella and Oratio in our Zoom performances!

It's Thursday, May 14 so Happy Online Romance Day! Don't let distance prevent relationships, be they love, friendship, companionship, or whatever you need. Building and maintain connections is always important, especially in trying times.

#ThrowBackThursday March to this day in both 2015 and 2020 when we staged "It All Makes Sense Now!" for the Masque de la Fou in the Society for Creative Anachronism and one of our first Zoom performances during the pandemic shutdowns (respectively)! #TBT

We might encore our signature commedia dell'arte short for Midrealm Coronation in May!

After a bit of a hiatus, last night i Sebastiani and friends met over Zoom to workshop Flaminio Scala's "The Comical, Pastoral, and Tragic Events"; what's most fascinating about this scenario is each ACT is its own play (the first being pure commedia dell'arte) but connected to the rest! We've been tempted to write something like this...

Wrapping up "Emperor Maumet & Diogenes" last week means i Sebastiani and friends have workshopped all available historic commedia dell'arte scenarios from the Botarga collection! Tonight we try out a revision to last year's "Tarquino".

#CommediaDellArte #commedia #improv #improvisation #theater #SocietyForCreativeAnachronism #SCA #MySCA #RegramMySCA #SCAatHome

i Sebastiani and friends are almost all of the historic commedia dell'arte scenarios from the Botarga collection! Tonight we continue to workshop "Emperor Maumet & Diogenes"!

Wrapping up "The Deadly Sword" last week means i Sebastiani and friends have workshopped almost all of the historic commedia dell'arte scenarios from the Botarga collection! Tonight we move on to "Emperor Maumet & Diogenes"!

#CommediaDellArte #commedia #improv #improvisation #theater #SocietyForCreativeAnachronism #SCA #MySCA #RegramMySCA #SCAatHome

To prep for last night's final workshop of "The Deadly Sword" from the Botarga collection we finally made another character relationship flowchart of this historic commedia dell'arte scenario!

#CommediaDellArte #commedia #improv #improvisation #theater #SocietyForCreativeAnachronism #SCA #MySCA #RegramMySCA #SCAatHome

Tonight, i Sebastiani and friends should wrap up "The Deadly Sword" with a third bonus Zoom workshop to finetune this historic commedia dell'arte scenario from the Botarga collection!

#CommediaDellArte #commedia #improv #improvisation #theater #SocietyForCreativeAnachronism #SCA #MySCA #RegramMySCA #SCAatHome

Tonight, i Sebastiani and friends should wrap up "The Fateful Sword", a Zoom workshop for, another historic commedia dell'arte scenario from the Botarga collection!

After a Halloween hiatus, i Sebastiani and friends were back last night to workshop "The Fateful Sword" over Zoom, another historic commedia dell'arte scenario from the Botarga collection!

After a Halloween hiatus, i Sebastiani and friends are back tonight to workshop over Zoom another historic commedia dell'arte scenario - but only after the polls close! Vote first, then "The Deadly Sword" from the Botarga collection!

#CommediaDellArte #commedia #improv #improvisation #theater #SocietyForCreativeAnachronism #SCA #MySCA #RegramMySCA #SCAatHome

This week's i Sebastiani Zoom workshop tackled another tragic-opera with commedia dell'arte elements from the Botarga collection - though "Pallas & Helen" is most surprising that il Capitano is actually an effective soldier for once!

Two more weeks until Halloween! Spooky season really lends itself to interesting props when rehearsing commedia dell'arte, pastoral, and opera with supernatural and mythological elements like i Sebastiani's Zoom workshop of "Perseus" last week!

Tonight we look at another play from the Botarga collection!

#CommediaDellArte #commedia #improv #improvisation #theater #SocietyForCreativeAnachronism #SCA #MySCA #RegramMySCA #SCAatHome

Last night i Sebastiani's Zoom workshops continued with the Botarga collection's "Perseus ", two overlapping but separate plots in one play, a commedia dell'arte pastorale and a mythological tragic-opera!

#CommediaDellArte #commedia #improv #improvisation #theater #SocietyForCreativeAnachronism #SCA #MySCA #RegramMySCA #SCAatHome

Last night i Sebastiani's Zoom workshops returned to the Botarga collection with a tragic-opera called "Perseus ". While this scenario isn't quite commedia dell'arte we added lots of zany humor as we tried to parse the plot. And the foolish servant mishandling a magical tome reminds us of Scala's "Rosalba the Enchantress" that we in i Verdi Confusi have been experimenting with lately.

#CommediaDellArte #commedia #improv #improvisation #theater #SCA #MySCA #RegramMySCA #SCAatHome

With i Sebastiani taking the week off from workshopping on Zoom, last night i Verdi Confusi jumped on to test a previously written but unstaged scenario: "The Widow's Wife". This commedia dell'arte might be coming to Pennsic 2024!

#CommediaDellArte #commedia #improv #improvisation #theater #SocietyForCreativeAnachronism #SCA #MySCA #RegramMySCA #SCAatHome

i Sebastiani and friends finished workshopping "Adonis", a commedia dell'arte pastorale from the Botarga Zibaldone collection, last week!

With i Seb taking tonight off, i Verdi Confusi plans to meet to test out an unstaged scenario, possibly one of our own pastorale!

#CommediaDellArte #commedia #improv #improvisation #theater #SocietyForCreativeAnachronism #SCA #MySCA #RegramMySCA #SCAatHome

Due to rehearsals for Pennsic and other shows, i Sebastiani and friends finally met again this week to workshop a new-to-us play from the Botarga Zibaldone collection! "Adonis" is another pastorale with commedia dell'arte elements, something we've been experimenting more with lately.

#CommediaDellArte #commedia #improv #improvisation #theater #SocietyForCreativeAnachronism #SCA #MySCA #RegramMySCA #SCAatHome

Tonight, i Sebastiani continues a Zoom rehearsal workshop of "L’Osteria", another scenario from the Bottarga Zibaldone collection - and you know when ther's a "Tavern" there's going to be a lot of drunk commedia dell'arte characters!

#CommediaDellArte #commedia #improv #improvisation #theater #theatre #comedy #farce #SocietyForCreativeAnachronism #SCA #MySCA #SCAatHome #RegramMySCA

Tonight, i Sebastiani starts a Zoom rehearsal workshop of "L’Osteria" ("The Tavern"), another commedia dell'arte scenario from the Bottarga Zibaldone collection!

Pennsic 50 Year may still be a few months away but we need to determine which commedia dell'arte to stage!

All this rain lately is making us think about "The Captain and the River" inspired by a pivotal subplot in ACT I of Flaminio Scala's "The Fake Tofano". If we do bring it to Pennsic... might be best on the Amphitheatre stage to avoid puddles...

#CommediaDellArte #commedia #improv #improvisation #theater #Pennsic #PennsicWar #SocietyForCreativeAnachronism #SCA #MySCA #RegramMySCA #SCAatHome

i Sebastiani continues tonight a Zoom rehearsal workshop of "The Ambassadors" a commedia dell'arte scenario from the Bottarga Zibaldone collection... hopefully having paved over a few plot holes! 🤣

#CommediaDellArte #commedia #improv #improvisation #theater #theatre #comedy #farce #SocietyForCreativeAnachronism #SCA #MySCA #SCAatHome #RegramMySCA

Your expression when you realizing you've stepped into a commedia dell'arte plot hole as big as a Midwestern pot hole (thanks to barebone scribbles of a scenario outline in the Bottarga Zibaldone collection)!

But hey, that's what improvisation is for!

#CommediaDellArte #commedia #improv #improvisation #theater #theatre #comedy #farce #SocietyForCreativeAnachronism #SCA #MySCA #SCAatHome #RegramMySCA

Last week i Sebastiani finished a Zoom rehearsal workshop of "Furti" ("Thefts"), a commedia dell'arte scenario from the Bottarga Zibaldone collection. Next up is "The Ambassadors"!

When your costume room is overflowing into the rest of the house, you can find a "matching" costume within reach during a Zoom commedia dell'arte rehearsal workshop of "Furti" ("Thefts") from the Bottarga Zibaldone collection! 🤣

Bottarga! You really gotta give us more details to work with! 🤣

Tonight i Sebastiani continues a Zoom rehearsal workshop of "Furti" ("Thefts"), a commedia dell'arte scenario that was probably not fully written down so room for lots of improvising!

#CommediaDellArte #commedia #improv #improvisation #theater #theatre #comedy #farce #SocietyForCreativeAnachronism #SCA #MySCA #SCAatHome #RegramMySCA

Last week i Sebastiani wrapped a Zoom rehearsal workshop of "Leone" from the Bottarga Zibaldone collection - aka "commedia dell'arte characters versus a lion"! 🤣

Tonight it's onto "Furti" ("Thefts")!
