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 short winter workshop.

Because the Commedia dell'Arte actor is so diversely talented, RCCU brings in talented guest artists and teachers that specialize in specific areas. These are two guest teachers that work with us in some of our intensives.
Caroline Copeland teaches dances the Commedia dell'Arte actors performed in Northern Italy in the late 1500's.
Paul Shipper concentration is on voice production for both speaking and singing, diction and playing simple instrumental music from the Commedia dell'Arte period using both wind and string instruments. Of course students also discover how to use these instruments as props. Paul will be teaching with RCCU this year at Washington & Lee University July 26 - August 6.
Grant Herreid has toured much of the world as a singer and multi-instrumentalist on early reeds, brass, strings and voice. He has also been a featured guest artist with such groups as the King’s Noyse, Tapestry, the Folger Consort, and Apollo’s Fire and teaches at Yale University. Grant devotes much of his time to exploring the esoteric unwritten traditions of medieval and early Renaissance music.
