Synergy - alla Commedia

by Janine Sobeck, dramaturg

Commedia dell'arte Master Class

I love it when you are working on a show and you discover a great moment of synergy.  As our production of The Servant of Two Masters starts its closing week, BYU's department of Spanish and Portuguese is having its own celebration of commedia dell'arte with a Master Class provided by the actors of the Compania de Teatro Espanola "Reymala." The class is tomorrow (Tuesday, April 2) from 1-2:30 on campus in B-092 JFSB. To see what our own actors went through in order to learn the basics of commedia, check out our Commedia Bootcamp.

Nurturing Seeds and Ourselves

October 25, 2023 10:22 AM
Ever since the beginning of the rehearsal process, director Kris Peterson really wanted the cast to get their hands in the dirt. Like the events of the musical, the earth has a power to connect us to each other, and she recognized that. One way that Charlotte and I thought to do this was to provide a small number of seeds to each cast member and invite them to grow their own plants over the summer. This was also a way to encourage the cast members to stay mentally connected to the show even when they were physically distant from the rehearsal space.
