A Commedia dell’arte production for High schools in Queensland Australia. By Lightwire www.lightwire.com.au
THE PERFORMANCE
Café Floriani is a production created in the tradition of Commedia dell’arte.
It is a highly entertaining and spontaneous performance offering students the opportunity to encounter and interact with a range of mask characters who demonstrate the skills and joy of this traditional European Commedia dell’arte theatre. Café Floriani features comedy, improvisation and clowning within mask work which is the essence of the traditional ‘theatre of the people’.
THE PRODUCTION
This production has successfully toured schools with QAC since 2001. It is directed by Tony Kishawi, a highly regarded performer, teacher and director of mask work, mime, clown and physical theatre. Tony
studied Commedia with Antonia Fava in Italy and has specialised in this traditional form of theatre for over 15 years.
All three performers are highly skilled and accomplished. They have all performed with the QLD Shakespeare Ensemble plus other leading Brisbane based companies.

The Aztecs have done it, the Native Indians have done it, Australias Aboriginals have done it, now scientists around the globe are doing it. Rainmaking without the dances, chants or magic but with a plane, a rocket and a few handfuls of chemicals. Now used worldwide in an effort to induce further rainfall in drought affected areas cloud seeding has become a recognized method as a form of weather modification. It is simply put, a technique that can dispense fog, suppress hail, control winds and increase precipitation. This is done by introducing particles to an already existing cloud formation which serve as condensation nuclei and help in the making of precipitation. The three types of cloud seeding are static, dynamic and hygroscopic seeding. Most typically, hygroscopic seeding is used and in this process quantities of salt crystals or silver iodide are spread through a cloud from above using planes or below with artillery or ground to air rockets.
Artificially inducing rain is still a largely controversial issue and poses many questions. Some believe it is playing God and could have largely negative effects in the long term future. However since water has become a luxury and more countries are faced with droughts and drying rivers, the study of cloud seeding is being conducted in 23 countries worldwide in 74 ongoing projects since the year 2000, (World Meteorological Organization). As science and nature now regularly collide, more people are becoming less resistant to the idea of artificial rain making. Indeed there is no discernible difference in the taste or smell of rain from a seeded cloud but some studies have exposed the existence of persistence effects. A recent hypothesis is that iodide in seeded precipitation affects micro-flora in soils and releases micro-organisms back into the atmosphere which helps to cause further rainfall. This is yet to be studied in greater detail.
