Claudia Contin workshop 2020
 
A great return, for a full-immersion weekend in a theatrical training on the practices, techniques and movements of masks and actors of the Commedia dell'Arte. A path guided by the first female actress playing Harlequin in Italy and at the same time professional maskmaker, who has received national and international awards and has been absent from the theatrical teaching in the city of Padua for 13 years. This three day practical didactic workshop is the first one that Claudia Contin Arlecchino holds after the lockdown 2020 and is the only one currently scheduled in Italy for the whole of September, before the resumption of her tour abroad. Don't miss the opportunity to discover or deepen, in this theater workshop in Padua, this effective method of training in the art of the comic actor and the archetypal behavior of the most famous Italian masks.

The program, calibrated on the short three-day

of the Commedia dell'Arte;
2) the basic neutral of the mimetic body and the expressive
character fascia in the grotesque body;
3) the physical behaviour of some of the main archetypes
of the Commedia dell'Arte;
4) postures and walks of Harlequin, Pantalone, Balanzone, Zanni,
Pulcinella, Captain and many others;
5) Actor training in the Commedia dell'Arte;

7) advice and experiments for the use of the grotesque
in contemporary theatre.

"Borgo Porteo in Commedia"
The project foresees the organization and execution of the Training Camps in the special context of Piazza Portello in Padua. This is an opportunity to bring the activities of the show to the outdoor areas of special interest. The "Borgo Porteo Finis Populus" City Committee has recently been founded in Padua, in the district called 1 Centro, and its aim is to revitalize the Portello university district, which has become almost a desert due to the recent health emergency that has driven away students and teachers from High Schools and Universities, previously assiduous visitors of clubs, bars, copy shops, bookshops. The Portello is one of the oldest and most historical districts of Padua, where you can find the large Piazza Portello with the arched door as a scenic backdrop. Piazza Portello deserves to be enhanced more than in the past, with quality activities and events to entertain both the local and touristic public. This first project of the "Training Camps on Commedia dell'Arte", intends to bring back to Piazza Portello the awareness of the skills connected to the ancient manual crafts around the performing arts. In particular, the focus on the Commedia dell'Arte is inspired by the famous discovery of the early twentieth century, by Dr. Ester Cocco in the Notarial Archives of Padua, of what is considered the first legal document for the foundation of a Fraternal Company of Comedians, drawn up in Padua on February 25, 1545. Thanks to the Cantieri di Formazione, in the summer of 2020 the ancient professions of mask-makers and comedians using masks can be revived and transmitted to the new generations, right in the heart of Padua, which was the birthplace of several ancient companies.
