Who: Huntington Academy
What: Take a fascinating journey into the origins of comedy! This course dives into the rich culture of Italy through the vibrant world of Commedia dell’Arte. Gain hands-on experience in this movement-focused course, led by co-founder and artistic director of the Commedia dell’Arte company Pazzi Lazzi Troupe, Chiara Durazzini (dialect and text coach for The Light in the Piazza at The Huntington). This is your chance to explore the history and defining features of this highly physical form of theater that continues to inspire performers today. This course will start with an exploration of body isolations and shaping a “body‑mask.” You’ll investigate the postures, gestures, and signature walks of iconic stock characters to understand how physical traits reveal psychological and personality traits, analyzing archetypes such as Zanni, Arlecchino, Pantalone, Colombina, Capitano, the Nobles, and more. Then you’ll move into mask work, experimenting with costumes and props, and conclude by improvising on excerpts from historical scenarios dating back to the late 1500s. Be ready to move, play, and have fun!
