Tiberio Fiorilli, also known as Scaramouche, (November 9, 1608 -
December 7, 1694) was an Italian actor of commedia dell'arte,
popular in France for his role of Scaramouche. He was the director
of the troop of the Comediens Italiens, which shared with the troop
of his friend Moliere the Theatre of the Petit-Bourbon, and the
Theatre of the Palais-Royal. This biography of Fiorilli by his
fellow-actor Angelo Constantini was published in Paris in 1695,
shortly after the actor's death. The English translation by the
dance scholar and historian Cyril W Beaumont, presented here,
includes detailed explanatory notes and background information.
Acclaimed modern pantomime master, Dick Richards, releases his
first full-length collection of the pantomimery moves that made him
famous. Once a staple as a featured performer on various cruise
ships the now-unemployed Dick Richards releases his most secret and

collection.
'In life, I want students to be alive and on stage I want them to
be artists' Jacques Lecoq Jacques Lecoq was one of the most
inspirational theatre teachers of our age. In The Moving Body, he
shares with us first-hand his unique philosophy of performance,
improvisation, masks, movement and gesture, which together form one
of the greatest influences on contemporary theatre. Neutral mask,
character mask and counter masks, bouffons, acrobatics, commedia,
clowns and complicity: all the famous Lecoq techniques are covered
in this book - techniques that have made their way into the work of
former collaborators and students including Dario Fo, Ariane
Mnouchkine, Yasmina Reza and Theatre de Complicite. The book
contains a foreword by Simon McBurney, a critical introduction by
Mark Evans and an afterword by Fay Lecoq, Director of the
International Theatre School in Paris.
In this DVD, the third in the "Mastery of Mimodrame" series, we
join Todd and Marilyn as they continue their Master Class in mime.
Together with the students you can develop physical mime technique,
building on the teaching from the previous videos, learn to
communicate your ideas to an audience, and begin to apply these
skills to a performance.
In a workshop taught worldwide, these noted mime artists teach
advanced concepts of mime technique developed by Marcel Marceau and
Etienne Decroux. This program studies the following techniques in
depth: hand designs to create the illusion of a hat, jewelry,
sewing, painting, typewriting, oration, caressing, serpent, angel,
commands; marches such as march on two points, feline march, tiger;
the Theory of Axis (Decroux); Projections and Translations; and
Pivots. Each technique is introduced and explained step-by-step and
is shown clearly and slowly. A booklet outlines these concepts and
explains their history and theory. An excellent resource for
learning advanced mime technique.

Playing Real: Mimesis, Media, and Mischief explores the integration
and interaction of mimetic theatricality and representational media
in twentieth- and twenty-first-century performance. It brings
together carefully chosen sites of performance - including live
broadcasts of theatrical productions, reality television, and
alternate-reality gaming - in which mediatization and mimesis
compete and collude to represent the real to audiences. Lindsay
Brandon Hunter reads such performances as forcing confrontation
between notions of authenticity, sincerity, and spontaneity and
their various others: the fake, the feigned, the staged, or the
rehearsed.Each site examined in Playing Real purports to show
audiences something real-real theater, real housewives, real
alternative scenarios-which is simultaneously visible as overtly
constructed, adulterated by artifice and artificiality. The
integration of mediatization and theatricality in these
performances, Hunter argues, exploits the proclivities of both to
conjure the real even as they risk corrupting the perception of
authenticity by imbricating it with artifice and overt
manipulation. Although the performances analyzed obscure boundaries
separating actual from virtual, genuine from artificial, and truth
from fiction, Hunter rejects the notion that these productions
imperil the 'real.' She insists on uncertainty as a fertile site
for productive and pleasurable mischief-including relationships to
realness and authenticity among both audience and participants.
