THEA 359 Physical Theatre

The beginning of the professional theater in the western world can be traced directly from the Italian Renaissance form of physical theater known as the commedia dellƒ??Arte. No study of actor training would be complete without a thorough examination of the commedia, underlying principles, and contemporary developments and applications of the form. Actors will develop a heightened sensibility and understanding of movement and character through direct practice with the various masks and techniques of original and contemporary physical theatre forms
