Training Commedia: A Training Guide to Commedia TechniquesCall Number: 809.2536 GRANTHA"In an age when theatrical performances often combine elements of dance and circus with spoken acting, this remarkable book is an important resource for directors, actors, and even playwrights. Grantham's analysis of the commedia dell'arte tradition--in which actors playing established characters improvised speeches in lively, acrobatic plays--provides insight for those who would explore the physical and comic aspects of performance and the relationship between actors and audiences."
