The part where he was trying to get the girl during
the night was hilarious and was my favorite. He used a storyline that I’ve seen
so many times in romantic comedies and exaggerated it greatly. It was
incredibly funny watching him do this as he seemed so desperate and was doing
the craziest things to get her.
-using varied interactions (environment, props, characters, etc.)
-using varied interactions (environment, props, characters, etc.)
The Commedia character used chairs as props which he
turns into car seats simply by closing a car door and entering it. And then he spins
something in a circular way which looks like a steering wheel. The clown used a
character in the beginning to bring the props on and moved from one skit to
another. The clown interacted with the girl who he brought from the audience
and went on an adventure with her using his “car”.
-taking out to audience

-exaggerated emotion (1 to 10)
10. He displayed many different emotions throughout
the piece. When he got hurt, he jumped around slightly and used his facial
expressions to show how he was feeling. Depending on what he saw, he based his
feelings out of what a normal person would see.
-exaggerated physicality (use of space)
-exaggerated physicality (use of space)
He would make a fool out of himself and do all sorts
of crazy dances to make the audience laugh. This was okay as he was a clown. He
would move around constantly to always keep the audience entertained. He
created the car in a way that it was easy to visualize how big the car was and
he always stayed within the boundaries.
-exaggerated facial expression
-exaggerated facial expression
He would always use facial expressions in a way that
could be understood from very far away. For example his surprised face
consisted of him making a dropping his mouth and opening it wide open and
staring in awe with eyes bulged out.
-stock characters of Commedia Harlequino was the main character in this performance. He was extremely proud of what he was doing and was always up to mischief. He was proud and colorful and did many things to impress the women.

-performance elements (sound, lights, staging)
Whenever he did something that was not explained
easily such as closing a car door, sound effects were used at the right time to
show what he was doing. This was good as the audience understood because
everyone has heard a car door close. He used circadian sounds to show what time
of the day it was as those sounds are common during the night. The stage had a
trap door below it. I think it was to go from one act to another in a smooth
fashion and it worked because it made people laugh in the beginning.
-working with audience member (how did he make it clear to her what she should do? how did he support and lead her through the scene?)
-working with audience member (how did he make it clear to her what she should do? how did he support and lead her through the scene?)
The clown would point to what he WANTS her to do and
advise her on doing this. He would tap his head to signify “watch now” and then
wave his hands to show “you try it”, this made it a fun experience for the
person and it was easier for her. He would make the event completely obvious
and would use big hand gestures and exaggerated facial expressions. He would
make eye contact every time he wanted her to work with him in doing
something.
