Commedia dell’arte Weekend
This workshop gives participants the opportunity to start learning about Commedia dell'arte, a theatrical art of Italian origin that, according to many scholars, initiated what we now call professional theatre.
Commedia dell’arte Weekend Class
The aim is to introduce the fixed types of the Commedia dell’arte
The students will also explore their different physicality, their movements, the use of the mask and, through the use of improvisations, their relationships on stage. Through work on the Commedia dell’arte we will rediscover the basics of theatre: i.e. combining movement, voice and listening on stage (both to one’s scene partner and to the audience).
Other Workshops

“In clown art, the artist discovers his own sense of humor by developing different structures of comedy. This translates on stage through the gags, the comic situations and/or the dynamics of the relationships he has with his playing partners.” - James Keylon and Francine Cote
“Clown art is not a series of gags. The gag is just the punctuation at the end of a comic sentence. Rather, it is the sentence itself that is comical and contains the force of the laughter. ” -James Keylon
