Performing Commedia dell'Arte, 1570-1630 explores the performance
techniques employed in commedia dell'arte and the ways in which
they served to rapidly spread the ideas that were to form the basis
of modern theatre throughout Europe. Chapters include one on why,
what, and how actors improvised, one on acting styles, including
dialects, voice and gesture; and one on masks and their uses and
importance. These chapters on historical performance are followed
by a coda on commedia dell'arte today. Together they offer readers
a look at both past and present iterations of these performances.
Suitable for both scholars and performers, Performing Commedia
dell'Arte, 1570-1630 bears on essential questions about the
techniques of performance and their utility for this important
theatrical form. Winner of Ennio Flaiano Award in Italianistica,
2020.
