"Commedia dell'Arte" Workshop
An introduction to the great theatrical myth
A Workshop held by the two artists from the international touring Teatro Strappato
www.teatrostrappato.com
The use of the mask has fascinated mankind since the early days, this is due to a phenomenon as strange as it is unexpected: when you undress a person you see only the body, when you put a mask you see the soul. For this reason, they are sacred objects in almost all cultures and they are sacred also in our theatre, in which the characters come into scene with the body covered and the soul naked. The journey that leads us to the mask is a craftsman’s journey in all senses, both in the acting aspect when it is given it's use and in the aspect of craftsmanship, when designing and creating it.
Teatro Strappato works on the physical theatre and the grotesque deformation for the construction of the character. Through this technique, the participants will approach the fundamental archetypes and the theatrical principles of "Commedia dell 'Arte".
The most important lesson we have to learn by working with masks is that the true art of the actor is precisely "behind the mask", in his effort to make something that exists only in our imagination come to life, and that we really need only one thing to make theatre: the actor's body.
"Behind the Mask" is the work of an actor who has to develop a technique of movement and construction of the character that gives life to this powerful object. In this workshop we propose a technique called "historical-anthropological reconstruction of the characters of "Commedia dell'Arte" that allows us to introduce participants to the use of the mask, following the fundamental principles of interpretation of the 9 basic archetypes of "Commedia dell 'Art".
- Study of “neutral” position for physical work
