Besides our annual courses, we offer shorter courses or workshops in order to allow those who didn’t choose a more immersive training to have a taste of the theatre world.
Our workshops are for adults of all ages as well as for children, and can be tailored around the needs of organisations and companies or developed by cooperating with other cultural associations.
We also offer: theatre training workshops in schools, for children of all ages and in any type of school; reading workshops in libraries; workshops designed to showcase and elevate a specific region or artisan.
We also offer specific Commedia dell’Arte courses within Venetian historical venues, such as palaces or ancient theatres, in order to offer an immersive training experience in the world of masks.
We are flexible and open and the workshops can be held in both Italian and in English.
Me and the Mask – Workshop
Led by Vanni Carpenedo
Language: English and Italian (with a translation)
Running Time: 1 to 2 hours according to tour request
Maximum number of participants: 15 people.
A fun opportunity to play in a group, learn new postures and characters, transform the body, discover the vital energy that the mask brings with it. Vanni Carpenedo will show the main characteristics of Harlequin, Pantalone, the Captain, the Doctor, the Zanni. The students will then be able to wear handmade leather masks: it will be clear how these “magical instruments” are able to “possess” anyone who places them on their face.
