This document reflects on a student's experience participating in a Year 8 Commedia dell'Arte performance process and unit. The student worked well with their partner to construct and rehearse a scenario outside of class, coming up with lazzi from examples and class discussions. They found the most positive aspects were working with a partner, while the most challenging part was performing over Zoom. The best part of the unit was working with friends, and they learned new skills like lazzi and concetti.
