Master the fundamentals of Commedia dell’Arte and explore its relationship to the British stage and traditional European theatre with Olly Crick. This masterclass will cover the common Commedia dell’Arte themes including the relationship between the masked role, the unmasked role and the audience; the problems of class and social inequality; the comic principle of contrast; the dialogue between fear and heroism; the ambitions of the artistic soul against the basic needs of survival.
