We have started the deep dive into Commedia dell'arte for real now... and it demands pieces of everything we have learned from the very beginning of this unbelievable journey! A cauldron of theatrical potential. It is terrifying. And exciting. At the same time. We are doing Shakespeare plays in the style of Commedia dell'arte... Hamlet, King Lear and Macbeth. What a thing. We have just started exploring the masks and the character types... and the level of style and articulation and vocal resonance they require is staggering. Eee.
We can learn a lot from children and animals! For Christmas I got a new lens for my camera from Nick... aah... and these are among the first photo's I took... Rupert and Coroline. Children and animals... Articulation naturals. Action reaction geniuses. Levels of tension perfectionists. And masters of 'play'. You can watch them for hours. And hours. Sigh. Missing home.

We break for out next holiday in two weeks and I am going home... to all my family... our pets... the sunshine. Can't wait! 16 sleeps. x
