#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...

#ThrowBackThursday 2021 when we debuted our adaptation of the kyōgen "Kaminari" for the online Ethereal Bardic Symposium in the Society for Creative Anachronism! #TBT

We're encoring "Thunder" for the first time in-person at Zipcon in just over two weeks!

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".

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!

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!

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!

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.

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!

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!

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.

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!

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...

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! 🤣

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!

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!

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")!
