The Commedia Character Wheel!

The art of improvisation began with the Commedia dell'Arte. This workshop is going to take you back to your comedy roots. We'll explore many of commedia's stock characters- their physicality, their mannerisms, their point of view- and bring them back to modern times to use as characters in your scene work. We'll explore heightening these characters to their biggest clown potential, as well as toning them down for a more realistic character. If you're looking for a refreshing take on making strong character choices at the top of your scenes, you will find inspiration in this workshop. Please bring a water bottle and clothes that are easy to move in.
