If you ever went to neoclassical theatre, the stage might look like this!

Neoclassicism is a "classical" form of arts (painting or theatre for example). It came from Ancient Greece and Rome.

Inside my mind

My name is Cleante Christophe Normandeau and I'm 29 years old. I have a sister, Elmire. She's pretty cool, especially because she lets me stay at her house most of the time. She's married Orgon who I also like. The only thing that I don't like is that Madame Pernelle is there. I don't like her at all, she's dilusional and doesn't listen to anyone but herself. Plus she talks too much and it gets boring and tiring to listen to. I pretend to like her because Elmire is related to Pernelle and gets along with her. 

I'm not an upper class man. I should be... but I'm not. I'm 29 and I'm not married and never have been. Honestly I think the ladies just can't handle my charm and endless knowledge or my muscular body. Growing up my family was wealthy, we were upper class. But neither of my parents wanted to give me or Elmire their money. I am well known in my town, but that doesn't make me upper class.

How to be like me

I,  obviously, am a very confident man. I stand very confidently, with my chest held high. If you want to see how I stand watch this video, because I'm in it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZLbgdIuaJM 

I speak freely. If you want to be like me you must learn everything about everything.

HOW TO DO ARM GESTURES

when in neutral put your hands with palms facing the floor, slightly bent, fingers not stiff. Hands should be just below your belly button

if you are gesturing upwards, slightly bounce down before your hand goes up and vice verca

large gestures for most characters

loosen up

Here's an example of me doing an arm gesture!

In Tartuffe we all speak in a rhyme

And we do it all the time

It doesn't come easy  to all,

But to those who can, it's quite the enthrall 

To speak in rhyme you must make it sound simple.

Your goal is to give the audience a dimple.
