Commedia Acting
Commedia Dell’Arte was an Italian form of comedy that was especially popular in the 16th to 18th centuries. Commedia troupes would travel from town to town performing in the open air. It was an ensemble genre, and built its comedy around physical humor and the improvisational skills of its actors.
Participants will be taught about the specific traits of popular commedia characters. From there, they will develop their own version of one of the traditional commedia characters. MASKS are a key component! Each child will design and make a character mask. They will learn and experiment with exaggerated comedic movement and choreography that fit their stock character. From there, we will perform a one act Commedia show for family members.

There will be a performance for family members on Thursday March 10th at 5:30p, students will arrive at 4:30p.
