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"!

Yesterday was Commedia dell'Arte Day so each day this month we'll highlight a character or core element!

Many commedia characters are quick to enact comedic stage combat known as slapstick - in fact named after the harlequin's iconic and noisy bat!

Today is Commedia dell'Arte where we celebrate this original improvisational masked art from 16th Century Italy as well as it's last influence on theatre, music, literature, culture, and more! Words like slapstick, scenario, zany, harlequin, and even pants all come from commedia!

Commedia dell'Arte Day is tomorrow so each day this month we highlight a core element!

The backbone of commedia is the scenario; instead of a fully fleshed out script, a brief outline of the plot to guide actors to improve the specific dialogue & action of their stock characters. Scenarios can be quickly written, easily adapted, & easily learned, sometimes coming to life on stage before an audience in mere hours!

Commedia dell'Arte Day is this month so everyday we'll highlight a character or core element!

On the rare occasion a vecchio has a wife or there's a matriarch of a household, we often use the character of Laura - who also appeared last night in i Sebastiani's Zoom rehearsal workshop!

It's #Carnevale today so our Commedia dell'Arte Day core elements review should focus on #masks!

Many actors in #commedia wear leather half-face masks of grotesque proportions to symbolize specific stock characters. There is much influence and overlap between commedia masks and the #Carnival #masquerade!

Commedia dell'Arte Day is this month so everyday we'll highlight a character or core element!

A very common trope in many commedia sceanrios sees the ingenious amorosa Isabella finding reason to disguise herself as a man named Fabritio! Disguises are common among the other characters too.

What's our brand new "traditional" commedia dell'arte play about?

Here's a hint but find out this Saturday for Commedia dell'Arte Day!

With Commedia dell'Arte Day and our first two shows of 2023 this month, we're always reminded the best way to be creative is to just go out there and DO art!

Commedia dell'Arte Day is this month so everyday we'll highlight a character or core element!

Named after another famous 16th Century actor, we include Vittoria in many commedia plays as the cunning, sexy, and seductive infamous black widow, sometimes lover, rival, wife, or mother.
