Tradition: Commedia Dell'arte Performance Convention: Money scene with Columbina I have decided to pick Commedia Dell'arte as my tradition for a couple reasons. The first one is my background in Commedia Dell'arte. I started learning about it when I was in sixth grade and have progressvley learnt more and more about for the last four years. My second reason is the comedic aspect of the tradition. Commedia Dell'arte explores disgarceful love journeys and clever scheming individuals. The range of comdey available to explore is very intriguing to me. Masks are also a huge part of this tradition and since I'll be taking on the roll of Pantalone, my mask will be on ehtat sports a long nose with thick eyebrows and a beard.
