The Pazzi Lazzi Troupe presents:

Join us for "Masks in Motion," a workshop offered by the theater company Pazzi Lazzi that introduces students to the rich culture of Italy through an exploration of the traditional theater of Commedia dell'Arte, with its long tradition of comedic archetypes, masks and music. The workshop is multidisciplinary and will give students the opportunity to experience the performing arts of the 1500s and 16oos by "trying on" the physical movements, postures, and gags of famous stock characters such as Arlecchino, Pantalone, Colombina, and the Dottore, all accompanied by period music and musical instruments.
