A few months ago, I spent the afternoon making a worbla Carnevale mask with an awesome and creative kid named Gabriel for TVO Kids It’s My Party. At one point, I asked a crew member if I was loud enough (I’m soft spoken) and he said something along the lines of, “Remember you’re on a kids show.” I took that to mean I needed to uptalk, but not sure if that is what he meant or if I even managed it. It was a fun afternoon. My two-minutes of TVO fame is ten minutes in, but my favourite part of the episode is when the kids learn commedia (beautiful masks!).
Emily pairs up Party Host Ida-Maria with her Party Guest Gabriel. Together they prepare to attend a Carnevale event. Before the big celebration they practice a theatrical performance, cook up a delicious polenta dish and make masks for their costumes.
