RCCU, in its eighth year, teaching Classical Commedia dell'Arte as close to its original form as we believe it was performed in the 1500's and 1600's. Students develop their personal historical Commedia dell'Arte characters and style with their individual qualities. Master mask-maker and Commedia dell'Arte expert, Stanley Allan Sherman will teach this winter workshop and will be joined by guest teacher Caroline Copeland and others.

These are several areas this workshop will concentrate on
Commedia dell'Arte characters,
Pantalone, Arlecchino, Brighella, Dottore, Capitano, Women and Lovers their movement and history of the characters, gesture, Hebertism, improvisation, juggling, lazzi, mask work, music, physical skills, prop manipulation, rhythm, scatology and scenario work, all integrated.
