How do you stop labs from digging?
Good question. What you do is you take some crushed black pepper, like in a pepper shaker , and you go put it in all of the holes. When the dog goes to sniff it will sting its nose and he/she will most likely not dig any more in that area. Sit outside and watch you dog. If it starts to dig a new hole put more and more black pepper and scold it. If it doesn't respond then take the shaker up to its nose and when the dog inhales it will carry it up into his nostrils. It should teach your dog a lesson.
How can you cry tears while acting?
It is extremely difficult to get tears streaming down your face. However, I know from personal experience that if you are really connected to the character and are living in the moment, then no one will really care whether you are actually crying. That being said, when I need to get to portray such an extreme emotion, there are several tactics that I use. It is important to keep in mind that what works for me might not work for you. Also, when you have to cry, the worst thing that you could ever do is think about actually crying- then it definitely won't happen.
What I do is stare very intensely on one thing- perhaps another character, or even down at my lap. I then say a very powerful phrase that would be true to the character/moment over and over in my head. For example, i once played a character who was being publicly humiliated. To get myself to cry, I thought of the phrase, "no one loves me." Just think of how much a line like that means. The more you think it, the stronger it should become. Then just relax, and allow whatever happens to happen. If you cry, great. But if you don't, people will swear that you were.

How does pantalone walk in commedia dell arte?
He takes small stiff steps with his feet spread apart. His back is bent forward, and both his hands are always in front of him. It is almost as if Pantalone has a rope attached to his forehead and it is what pulls him forward. When Pantalone walks his body shifts upwards and downwards a a bit. Just think chicken
Well, the theme is love, of course, but also fate in the sense of bad luck. People argue endlessly and pointlessly about whose fault Romeo and Juliet's deaths were, but you cannot deny that they had some really bad luck which pushed them to their end.
As for "what was the lesson learned by the main character and you", this sounds like the kind of silly question a teacher might ask, just to make you annoyed. As I hope you know, there is more than one main character in the play, and at the end they have not learned any lessons, since they are both dead. The lesson I hope you have learned is "watching Shakespeare's plays is fun, 'cause they're full of loving and fighting and dying and awesome speeches". If you have not got that lesson, your teacher did a poor job of presenting the play to you. If your teacher thinks that the lesson you are supposed to learn is something like "Let your parents arrange your marriage", then your teacher needs to learn that watching Shakespeare's plays is fun, 'cause they're full of loving and fighting etc. (and they don't teach moral lessons).
