Analysis of improvisation as a compositional practice in the
Commedia dell'Arte and related traditions from the Renaissance to
the 21st century. Domenic Pietropaolo takes textual material from
the stage traditions of Italy, France, Germany and England, and
covers comedic drama, dance, pantomime and dramatic theory, and
more. He shines a light onto 'the signs of improvised
communication'. The book is comprehensive in its analysis of
improvised dramatic art across theatrical genres, and is multimodal
in looking at the spoken word, gestural and non-verbal signs. The
book focusses on dramatic text as well as: - The semiotics of stage
discourse, including semantic, syntactic and pragmatic aspects of
sign production - The physical and material conditions of
sign-production including biomechanical limitations of masks and
costumes. Semiotics and Pragmatics of Stage Improvisation is the
product of an entire career spent researching the semiotics of the
stage and it is essential reading for semioticians and students of
performance arts.
