this comment is an epic fail ibr

Isabella and Flavio are inamorati so they do not wear masks. I think this video was highlighting the movements required to make the masks come to life

+heidi fairgrieve The target audience is everyone who wants to step back from and have a laugh at humans- at human nature- at the roles we play in life and take so seriously and see them -and ourselves hopefully, from a distance to gain insight while also being amused by the comedy

+heidi fairgrieve Mainly folks on the streets, it gave people a chance to mock the high and the mighty, or that guy down the street who was more cunning than smart if you catch my drift.

I hope it went alright

Games Gamer Man lol it was 2 years ago

@@valentijnvanhelsdingen2812 lmao

Why? :D

Yomayo because they fucked the comedia Dell Arte.

***** Oh, makes sense xD

It's easy to do. Do it the way they did it. Get this book: www.amazon.com/Scenarios-Commedia-DellArte-Flaminio-Rappresentative/dp/0879101334 Choose a scenario. Get some friends. Dress up funny and pretty. Go out to the park. Do the scenario. Use your voices and jump around to attract attention. Fill in the scenario with bits and banter, and make your audience laugh. Repeat until you are famous. That is what they did back then, and it's what's to be done today. It is quite telling that the books you see on amazon about this art form are the same ones I used 25 years ago. And they were old books then. There are no new ideas about it, and that is kind of the point. The purists want it to be preserved for all time because of its truly great historic value and of the moments of liberation that you get in the classes you take while wearing the masks. However, unless you're willing to actually put on the show, and see what'll keep an audience amused or better yet, open their wallet on the street (That's the Dell 'Arte part) and give you cash for being funny, then you'll just have to spend crazy sums to find the gurus on the various mountaintops to teach you the exact position of your hips and neck to impersonate the imagined construct of a written down form of a memory of the 20 people who did Arlecchino as their actual job between 1560 and 1630. Oh wait, there is an important point to all this that you'll need to remember. In all places where they performed, there existed official royal censors. Those were high-ranking officials in the monarchy that allowed who could say what in public without being thrown in the jail. The Commedia Players got around this by getting approval for their skits in advance and getting official sanction from the local nobility. They also aggressively defended this position by getting the local police/gend'arme to arrest anyone who dared to dress up and do what they did. This combination of the stamp of officialdom and aggressive (nasty) business practices assured that they were famous for many reasons. When the family Flavio came to town, they were literally the only ones allowed by law to perform in their manner. That'll be tough to replicate, but hey, Trump's president now, so many things seem to be changing. I bet if you can get him to say commedia is funny, and make him want to watch that and only that, and if he never leaves office (!) then maybe, just maybe, when the commedia players walk into the Oval Office, all the courtiers will rise and applaud because the aged, but still stunning, Ivanka the Red will be watching who isn't clapping.

To @ KarlPallson I'm not a drama actor/performer but I'd seen so many live stage plays in my life - - and I'd often wondered what you would have studied at theatre schools? I'm always enchanted tho - - seeing actors performing live on stage. And I'm inspired - - too.

A blank canvas-e.g theatre blacks does not distract yet enables one to create and become.

Thank you.

Most (all?) drama students wear black. Less distracting. Started with Jacques Copeau at the turn of the 20th Century.

Black is a neutral colour... Thats the main reason why it is used in most of the drama classes and plays... You have freedom to create

that's kinda rude....

Cosmic Redpanda so what... I have an opinion, if you don’t like it then pee off

but why

Rohan HD it’s acting workshops for late medieval/renaissance troupe style theater, so I’m not surprised you’re freaked out
