"Commedia dell'Arte as taught by Antonio Fava. The world-famous maestro reveals the characters, movement, masks, and comic scenarios of Commedia dell'Arte. Born in the Renaissance, Commedia continues to exercise a powerful attraction in the world of theater. It is a comic genre, a fundamental skill for actors, a precious tool for creating rapport with an audience, a foundation for all comedy, and pure theater. The Old Letchers, the Young Lovers, the Servants and Captains come to life in the ancient tradition with the rhythms, language, and culture of today." -- Cover.
