Commedia Techniques

By using the techniques of Antonio Fava as taught at his Scuola Internazionale, we invite you and your students to find the value of this traditional art form and presentational style of theatre.

The workshops incorporate a lot of physical exaggeration, strength and focus on encouraging students to become aware of their bodies in the space. Through these high physical workshops we help students gain the most understanding of the basic principals of the commedia dell'arte, such as the Fixed Archetypes, Mask, Improvisation and the concept of Lazzi.

Intensive Commedia Workshop

We would like to encourage you to consider our intensive workshops (5-6hrs) to cover all of the archetypes in detail, the context, the principals of comedy, narratives structures (canovaccio), lazzi, working with masks and of course actor-spectator relationships. We aim to inspire movement, play and devising skills with your students.
