As referências centrais do uso da máscara são Lecoq (1997) e Contin (2003) que apresentam princípios pedagógicos e corporais específicos sobre este assunto. A partir da educação somática o estudo centraliza em fundamentos do método Feldenkrais (1977) e do Sistema Laban/Bartenieff (2006) que permitem um aprofundamento na compreensão corporal através da ênfase de princípios somáticos em comum. A experimentação prática deste estudo utiliza uma metodologia relacionada à Prática como Pesquisa (Practice as Research) através da Abordagem Somático-Performativa. Portanto, este estudo apresenta, de forma significativa, a realização da sua experimentação prática por meio de relatórios que expõem reflexões e descobertas processuais. / ABSTRACT The present master’s research develops a theoretical and practical study focused on bodywork and movement through somatic education pedagogy using neutral mask and expressive mask. The main references for the use of mask are Lecoq (1997) and Contin (2003), who provided specific pedagogical principles and body language on this subject. Following from somatic education, this study focuses on fundamentals of the Feldenkrais method (1977) and also Laban/Bartenieff Movement Analysis (2006) that allows a deeper understanding of body movement with emphasis on common somatic principles. The practical experimentation of the present study uses a methodology related to Practice as Research with a Somatic-Performative Approach. Therefore, this research shows, significantly, the achievement of practical experimentation via reports which expose reflections and procedural findings.

The Commedia dell'arte was a form of Italian comedy prevalent from about 1560 to 1760. It was rooted in the comedy of ancient Greece and Rome, and it first appeared during the Middle Ages. An example of this is the comic opera The Love for Three Oranges, scored by Sergei Prokofiev.

Ce travail est consacré à l’étude du personnage allégorique de la Folie sur la scène de l’Académie Royale de Musique entre 1697 et 1718. Qu’il soit suggéré ou personnifié, ce caractère féminin est abondamment présent dans les spectacles de cette période. A la fin du règne de Louis XIV, la Folie fait peu à peu son entrée à l’Opéra. Entourée de Momus, du Carnaval, de Bacchus, de l’Amour et des personnages de la commedia dell’arte, la Folie « ramène les tendres Jeux », « chasse la Raison cruelle » et invite sans cesse à « goûter les charmes de la vie ». En accédant à l’Opéra, cette figure extravagante et enjouée signale une évolution de ton qui préfigure le changement de mœurs associé à la Régence. Mais au-delà de la philosophie hédoniste qu’elle dispense, quel est le sens caché des paroles de la Folie ? Faut-il voir dans la présence de ce personnage une remise en cause de l’ordre établi, de la politique sociale et de l’austérité marquant la fin du règne ? Son utilisation permet-elle, sous la couverture d’une « maladie de l’âme », de critiquer la politique et les mœurs de Louis XIV ? Qui se cachent derrière le discours subversif de la Folie ? Quel est le rôle de cette figure dans les débats esthétiques de l’époque ? Cette recherche explore le rôle, ainsi que le traitement musical, dramatique et scénique d’une telle figure à travers l’étude d’ouvrages créés à l’Opéra. Nous proposons ici un portrait physique, moral et social de la Folie, à la lumière de multiples documents musicaux, textuels et iconographiques de l’époque, et présentons différents traits de caractère du personnage et plusieurs thèmes qui lui sont liés afin de comprendre les raisons de sa présence à cette époque. / This work is devoted to the study of the allegorical figure of Folly on the stage of the Académie Royale de Musique between 1697 and 1718. Suggested or personified, this female character is abundantly present in the spectacles of this period. At the end of the reign of Louis XIV, Folly appears little by little at the Opera. Surrounded by Momus, Carnival, Bacchus, the god of love and the characters of the commedia dell'arte, Folly "brings back the soft Games", "banishes the cruel Reason" and continually invites to "taste the charms of life”. By accessing the Opera, this extravagant and playful figure indicates a change of tone that foreshadows the changing attitudes of the Regency. But beyond the hedonistic philosophy that she provides, what is the hidden meaning of Folly’s words? Should we see a calling into question of the established order, the social policy and the austerity marking the end of the reign? Does its use allow, under the cover of a “disease of the soul”, to criticize the policy and manners of Louis XIV? Who hides behind the subversive speech of Folly? What is the role of this figure in the aesthetic debates of the period? This research explores the role, as well as musical, dramatic and scenic treatments of such a figure through the study of works created at the Opera. We propose here a physical, moral and social portrait of Folly, in the light of multiple musical, textual and iconographic documents of the time, and present different character traits and several themes that are related to it in order to understand the reasons for its presence at this time

L’Europe du XXe siècle voit la création de compagnies et centres de recherche qui se consacrent à la redécouverte des modules de la Commedia dell’Arte, véritable forme de théâtre traditionnel en Occident qui a décliné après la ‘réforme’ de Goldoni. Giovanni Poli représente l'exemple le plus significatif de ce processus de réinvention que nous appelons, avec un néologisme, néo-Commedia dell'Arte. Ayant eu accès à ses archives privées et après les avoir retranscrites et proposées en annexe, nous avons pu entrer dans tous les méandres de son activité polymorphe et voir comment elles répondaient à nos questionnements. La présente thèse est structurée en trois parties allant de la pensée à la pratique et vice-versa. La première interroge la formation de la pensée de Poli autour de la Commedia dell'Arte afin de comprendre quelle était la démarche qui l'a conduit à concevoir son spectacle le plus célèbre La Commedia degli Zanni (1958). La deuxième est dédiée à sa pratique artistique, corrélée à la fois à la dramaturgie et aux mises en scène inspirées du phénomène historique, attachant une importance particulière à la technique du montage anthologique, l'une des caractéristiques principales de son écriture ‘postdramatique’. La dernière partie analyse les processus de transmission de cette réinvention, qui advient à travers son activité pédagogique et les ‘voyages’ au sens propre et au sens figuré entrepris avec sa néo-Commedia dell'Arte. Puisant à la fois dans la tradition théâtrale italienne et dans l’avant-garde, il réinvente un système référentiel, se révélant une cheville indispensable à la reconstruction du panorama européen et mondial de la néo-Commedia dell'Arte. / Europe of the XXth century sees the creation of companies and research centers which dedicate themselves to the rediscovery of the modules of Commedia dell'Arte, the real shape of western traditional theater, which declined after the 'reform' of Goldoni. Giovanni Poli represents the most significant example of this process of reinvention that we call, with a neologism, néo-Commedia dell'Arte. Having had access to his private archives and having transcribed and proposed them in appendix, we were able to enter all the meanders of his polymorphic activity and to see how they answered our questionings.This thesis is structured in three parts, moving from the thought to the practice and vice versa. The first one, questions the formation of Poli’s thought around Commedia dell'Arte to understand what was the approach which led him to conceive his most famous play La Commedia degli Zanni (1958). The second part is dedicated to his artistic practice correlated, at the same time, with dramatic art and with directions inspired by the historical phenomenon, setting a particular importance to the technique of anthological editing, one of the main features of his 'postdramatic' writing. The last part analyzes the processes of transmission of this reinvention, which happens through his educational activity and the 'journeys' literally and figuratively undertaken with his néo-Commedia dell'Arte. Drawing at the same time on Italian theatrical tradition and on the avant-garde, he reinvents a reference system, showing itself an essential core to the reconstruction of European and world panorama of néo-Commedia dell'Arte.

Esta dissertação tem como objeto de estudo a elaboração do conceito, \"movimento-imagem-ideia\", desenvolvido no percurso de uma prática de improvisação. Iniciada no teatro, por meio dos aprendizados do jogo teatral, do jogo das máscaras, como a commedia dell\'arte e o palhaço, encontra a dança e as abordagens somáticas, ampliando-se e oferecendo estrutura à autonomia do intérprete improvisacional. As pesquisas cênicas que constituíram caminho e estabelecimento dessa conceituação, analisadas neste trabalho, têm por foco a improvisação e a máscara de A Troupe de Atmosfera Nômade; as improvisações em tempo real, diante do público, da Cia. Nova Dança 4; e a estrutura pré-fixada na dança, em Ladies, da inocência à crueldade, com possibilidades de rupturas improvisacionais. / This dissertation investigates the elaboration of a concept, \"movementimage- idea\", developed during an improvisation practice. When this improvisation - which started in the theatre with the use of theatre games, mask games, such as commedia dell\'arte and clowns - meets dance and somatic approaches, it is amplified, now offering structure to the autonomy of the improvisational actor. Previous research on performing arts that have paved a path to the establishment of the concept analyzed here focus on A Troupe de Atmosfera Nômade\'s use of improvisation and masks; Cia Nova Dança 4\'s real time improvisation in front of an audience; and the structure prefixed on dancing, in Ladies, from innocence to cruelty, with possible improvisational ruptures.

This dissertation is a study of the comic intermezzo’s literary origins and musical practice in the years before Pergolesi’s La serva padrona (1733). It begins with a chronological examination of Italian comic plays and operas written between 1660 and 1723. During these years comic playwrights adopted a style of writing speech from the improvised theatre which makes use of what Richard Andrews (1993) refers to as “elastic gags.” This style of comedy flourished under Medici patronage in Florence in the last decades of the seventeenth century and then spread to Venice, Rome and Naples during the first years of the intermezzo’s development. It is a style of comedy shared with the plays of Molière, and other contemporaneous French authors. This dissertation examines several scenes based on French works which have previously not been identified as having earlier sources. The decision to adapt these earlier sources for the intermezzo did not occur in a vacuum. The practice of comedy in the intermezzo was conditioned by the artistic, social and political climate of Italy. This study investigates the relationship between intermezzos and the milieus which produced them. The success of some intermezzos, like Il marito giocatore (1719), resulted from a combination of their artistic merit and their broad social appeal, while others, like Albino e Plautilla (1723), were musically adept but remained obscure because their humour was specific to the world they satirized. Both intermezzos are indebted to earlier French sources. Many others which are metatheatrical in nature draw on contemporary debates about opera. A final section examines selected arias from the intermezzo repertory using incongruity theory. Comic theory makes clear that the intermezzo’s musical language was not a new development. Just as librettists drew on earlier written traditions to form the literary text of the intermezzo, composers drew on existing musical practices to create humour. The intermezzo was therefore not naively comic—a portrait of the genre which is all too common—but rather a repertory which was thoroughly enmeshed within contemporary artistic practice and a wider social and cultural world.
