Physical theatre

Spring

Required course:

Yes

Description

Dive into the vibrant world of European popular theatre through physical storytelling, character work, and audience interaction. This course explores key performance styles—including Commedia dell’Arte, clown, puppetry, and storytelling—emphasizing the physical and vocal techniques unique to each.

 

Artists train holistically, developing comic timing, rhythm, improvisation, and mask work while engaging with the social and theatrical roots of comedy. Drawing on the work of Molière, Goldoni, Meyerhold, Mnouchkine, Dario Fo, and Franca Rame, the course bridges tradition and contemporary practice.

 

Through scene work, canovacci, and ensemble training, artists expand their expressive range and gain a deep, embodied understanding of theatrical storytelling.
