Carlo Boso is one of the foremost exponents of Commedia dell'Arte in the contemporary performance world, having trained generations of young actors in its history, techniques and performance. Staying true to - and promoting renewed awareness of - the diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds of most commedia troupes, his work has also done a great deal to democratize this central pillar of European theatre, placing the actor and the audience squarely at the centre of his craft.
This book includes the following:
- A biographical account of Boso's route into commedia, his foundational work and the significance of his practice to contemporary performance.
- An extended interview that allows Boso to set out in his own words the key elements of his work and his vision of an articulate, politically and socially engaged actor.
- A detailed analysis of his production of La Pazzia di Isabella with TAG Teatro, providing an object lesson in how to make a centuries-old scenario suitable for touring 250 performances across nine countries.
- A developmental series of exercises for approaching improvisation material, as well as mask work, composition, music and acrobatics.
As a first step towards critical understanding, and as an initial exploration before going on to further, primary research, Routledge Performance Practitioners offer unbeatable value for today's student.
