Run by one of the leading Commedia dell'Arte practitioners in the UK, this workshop will offer you the opportunity to discover and expand skills that are fundamental in any performance setting: body and space awareness, physical stamina, a clear understanding of rhythm-tempo and, of course, comic timing.

This introduction to Commedia dell’Arte is an excellent opportunity for drama students, teachers, professional actors and theatre makers to develop skills that are fundamental in any performance setting – not only physical comedy. The Masks of Commedia dell’Arte are indeed an excellent tool to expand performers’ physical vocabulary, stamina, space awareness and understanding of tempo-rhythm and comic timing.

Chiara's Commedia workshops are packed with a series of playful and energising activities for performers of any age, ability and experience. Participants will develop their ability to improvise with confidence and interact with their audience while building a deep understanding of ensemble work.
