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.

  • Mood: Eager
  • Reading: Content - Cory Doctorow

  • Current Residence: Pondering many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore.
  • Interests: Thinking. Seeing. Finding out. Reading. Wondering. Listening. Making people happy, including myself.

  • Favourite poet or writer: Gosh. Either Terry Pratchett, Susannah Clarke, Neil Gaiman or R.A.W. I love the oral tradition, too.
  • MP3 player of choice: For preference? One assembled by hand inside a little tin. Now to kidnap some techie...
  • Shell of choice: The kind you can hear the sea in, but painted bright green.

  • Personal Quote: "You do it by doing it, and anyone can do it." - Neil Gaiman

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

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