Commedia dell'Arte, a theatrical genre with its roots in Europe, has undergone a fascinating evolution in the Asia-Pacific region. Through a process of reinvention and recreation, it has emerged as a diverse array of hybrids and practices, each in its own way honoring the essence of the recreated European tradition.
The contributors to this collection share their own training experiences and strategies for engaging with Commedia dell'Arte. They explore the current perspectives, ideas, and perceptions of this long-standing theatrical genre, which originated from a fusion of neo-classical drama and oral tradition. These artists, directors, teachers, scholars, and theatre-makers offer valuable insights into the world of Commedia, including their approaches to working, performance concepts, craft techniques, and strategies for captivating audiences who may not be familiar with this theatrical form.
The volume showcases case studies by current practitioners, some of whom have trained under renowned Commedia 'masters and have returned to their countries of origin to develop their performance and teaching practices. Others have traveled from Europe to Japan, Thailand, Singapore, and China, discovering new avenues to share or teach Commedia in regions where it was previously unknown.
This book holds immense appeal to students and scholars in the fields of Performing Arts, Italian Studies, History, and practitioners of Commedia dell'Arte alike. It provides a comprehensive exploration of the genre's evolution, offering valuable insights and perspectives that will deepen our understanding and appreciation of this dynamic theatrical tradition.
