Performing Commedia dell'Arte, 1570-1630
Autor Natalie Crohn Schmitten Limba Engleză Hardback – 9 oct 2019
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.

Recenzii
''Performing Commedia dell’Arte, 1570–1630 takes this method as its subject, exploring the practicalities of arte performance, and the social, cultural, and political contexts of Italian professional theatrical production, during its sixty-year ‘golden age’..... It is a masterclass in synthesising often disparate sources, and speaks to the innovative nature of what is no doubt an important book that makes a significant contribution to our understanding of this elusive theatre.'' Tom Roberts Exeter College, Oxford; Early Modern Literary Studies
''Natalie Crohn Schmitt’s new work makes a valuable addition to her previous Befriending the Commedia dell’Art of Flaminio Scala which highlighted dimensions of the commedia dell’arte often overlooked, with close readings that paid attention to Scala’s mastery of literary devices and rhetorical flourishes. In Performing Commedia dell’Arte, 1570–1630 she goes much deeper in her analysis of the means and methods the actors employed: improvisation, acting styles, and masks.'' Rosalind Kerr, University of Alberta; Renaissance and Reformation
