Topic: Commedia dell'arte

Catalog description

This course offers the actor the tools to develop a wild and free, yet technically precise physical life onstage. Bringing Commedia dell'arte to life will develop the actor's sensitivity and ability to play at a grand scale, full of muscularity and poetry. Using masks, rhythm, improvisation, and song, actors will investigate the elusive comic world of Commedia, and celebrate all the hilarity, satire, delight, and bawdiness that audiences have loved for hundreds of years.
