The Northeast Theatre Announces “Commedia in Italia 2008″
January 20, 2008
A Life Changing Adventure That’s Lots of Fun
You arrive in Rome, the signs are unreadable, the language, though beautiful, is nothing but noise to you, and the city, magnificent, is still foreign. Then you travel an hour to Orvieto where you study Italian with others from around the world for an intensive week. Immediately after, you move to Aquapendente to study with Italians masters of commedia dell’arte, and with Zuppa del Giorno, the contemporary commedia troupe of The Northeast Theatre. By the time you leave Rome, three weeks later, you have improvised a performance based on a scenario you helped to create, in Italian, twice, in two theatres designed in the 18th and 19th centuries.
A miracle? Not exactly, but it is a testament to an amazing experience of total immersion in Italian language, culture, and theatrical heritage that you will never forget. Yet, as profound an effect as it has on your life, it is just as profoundly fun. Students from 16 to 65 are invited to Italy again this summer, in June or July, for three amazing weeks of adventure and learning.
