Commedia Dell'Arte Troupe Starting

Wed Oct 14, 2009, 9:46 PM
Just what it says on the tin, Folks.

Commedia Dell'Arte is a very old Italian dramatic form which relies on each performer learning one of a sset of stock characters* well enough to improvise in, then running headdlong at a plot you write not long before going onstage.
If you've read The Vampire Lestat, that's the kind of theatre he joins up with for a while.

I'm in Brisbane right now, so that's where it's happening.

On Monday at 2:45 we're going to ssee a free show on the subject at the Powerhouse arts centre at New Farm, and then meeting to discuss rehearsals and who gets which character.

If you're interested, I'd love for you to join us.

*Il Capitano is a braggart and a coward, Il Dottore la Peste is an intelectual and a fraud, Pulcinello is either clever and pretending to be stupid or the other way around, Arlecchino is a mischevious slave, Columbina sees the others for waht they are, and deals with them anyway and Isabella and Lelio are in love. There are other characters too. You should look them up.

Click?

Furthermore, I believe we should go on some adventure together.

Will you come to Brisbane again soon?
If not, may I visit your town?
