Objectives
The module offers an experience that appeals the playful side of the students and the most visceral instincts of the human being and stimulates a radical physical and vocal transformation. Through the interpretation of existing characters and their archetypes, the didactic path allows to explore the world of Commedia dell’Arte, comedy and burlesque.
Contents
Through training inspired by the specific physicality of the clown and the figures of the Commedia dell’Arte and the basic technique of the slapstick genre, the student acquires the tools for the interpretation of “Entrées Clownesque” and Commedia dell’Arte canvas. The module is completed with a personal research on comedy and the creation of a comic scene.
