Thank you for all your kind messages and particularly for your additional information, Oriol Lopez Esteve. There are currently no plans to make further content on Commedia dell'Arte but there are four more in this collection, so do take a look.
I had the great joy of working with Didi a number of years ago and it's wonderful to hear her bring this subject alive again. Thanks NT.
10% of the comments: I love this! Etc Etc 90% of the comments: HOMEWORK! THIS IS MY HOMEWORK. I HAVE TO WATCH THIS FOR MY HOMEWORK. Me: I'm watching this video for my theatre arts homework LMFAO I guess we're all students here LOOOL
You are very welcome!
I went searching for this because I'm genuinely interested in the roots and influence of CDA. No lie.
I have to do this for my online drama work and its confusing, did anyone watch that other one from into the mask?
I love this and I love life what a wonderful time to be alive
Brilliant! Wonderfully clear and enlightening.
I found Commedia dell'Arte through a combination of my drama degree, The Second City, and improv in general. It's so amazing to look at all the lazzi's and characters and their function.
i gotta watch this for drama work, yay :)))
Absolutely brilliant. Thank you for this series. Will there be more ....?
I think it should be useful to contribute with this video by introducing a key part of the Commedia: the Canovaccio. The Canovaccio was a kind of script where all the actions were written. The plot-makers thought a story and then they wrote the main action. For example: Scene 1: Pantalone calls Zanni and tells him to hide his money from his son; Scene 2: the 1st Actor decides to steal the money from his parents to go away with Columbina and so he tells her; and so on. They didn't write any text.
clear and intereresting MORE please! Would like to see some more scenarios and a Lazzi or three. A good start.
This is WONDERFUL! Thank you so very much for this information! I would love to get a copy of the diagram she uses in this video. It is really fantastic!
That's a lot of credits for such a simple presentation. I'm missing something....
@MadameArkadina thankyou for you kind message. This film is one of five that you can view in our KZread channel /ntdiscovertheatre I hope you like them all.
this help me alot thank
thank you thank you!
The structure of your presentation has made me fall in love with the subject of commedia dell'arte. Thank you very much :)

who's the masks maker?
same here
Any movements nor positions were detailed in the Canovaccio as that was the result of improvisations and lazzis that they creating during the rehearsals and performances of the play. When considering to make a "CommediaD'A-like play", text and emotions should come from improvisation and not from thought text, that way the emotion of it will come right from within and the result will surely be truer. If you build a Commedia story, use a Canovaccio and see which improvisation works and which not.

Commedia started on the streets of Italy in the 1500's - mostly improvised. Troupes travelled around and performed outside-market squares etc.

History is written by ppl that necessarily exist
from my research, Roman Theatre did use female actors. They were mainly extras with non speaking parts, but there are known example of women with speaking roles in late Roman Theatre

Drama homework
I got the answers!!! Identify 1 detail that is significant about Commedia? The 1st time girls got to be in theatre. What is lazzi? A verbal and physical comic business. Commedia is a template for what, according to Didi? It’s a template for all classical modern texts. As thanks for my help please subscribe to my channel I feel discouraged I’m not getting noticed a lot.
