The World of Harlequin
A Commedia dell’Arte course with Jane Gingell
In this 3 day course we will be looking at the characters of the Commedia dell’Arte, experimenting with mime, dance and mask-work. The wily Harlequin, foolish Zanni, vulgar Pulcinella and the doddering Dottore all offer fascinating opportunities for character work; and we’ll also be dancing to commedia music from Charpentier and Campra.
