Slapstick

In class we have discussed different techniques of fake exaggerated violent actions also known as slapstick. We use these techniques in order to give a complete physical display of what is happening in whatever we are performing, some examples are, falling down, punching, and slapping. In our performance we should keep realistic situations as well as realistic actions in order to make it credible. Using different slapstick techniques like slapping, should help us comply to a performance where we are in a realistic situation filled with comedy.

The Three Stooges comedy is based on slapstick and accepting what the other character has laid out. They are constantly having discussions where exaggerated violent actions take place and are the ones that give an end to the discussions.
