COMMEDIA DELL’ARTE WORKSHOP
This is a video of a commedia training workshop/rehearsal at London’s National Theatre. It illustrates the technique of performing with the mask, or what is called “assuming the mask” that is needed for commedia work. It is a specific acting technique that is highly technical and physically intense. It requires a trained physicality, excellent vocal technique, and an ability to think creatively.
QUESTIONS 2
Create a thread for this discussion board and discuss the different characters in Antigone by placing each character in a category: major character, minor character, or somewhere in-between.
