It is the purpose of this thesis to explore the different principles of mask performance in modern theatre and the unique relationship it allows the actor to develop with an audience. The author uses exercises from her training experience with different mask artists such as Teatro Punto, Familie Floz, Torbjorn Alstrom, and Marcello Bartoli. These exercises document a process of training the body in preparation for the mask, how to perform with mask, and how to connect with an audience. The mask is used as a tool to discover an engagement of work that activates both body and imagination of the performer as well as the observer.

Lasting parallel the conventional theatre since the three hundred years, this gender influenced significativly the making theatrical in the Europe graces the popular character of its simulation turned for the improvise. In spite of treat a theatric manifestation no more existing in the present time, we understand that the Comedy dell Art was constituted in one artistic language whose esthetics centralized in the popular fanciful and in the improvise permitted a rich possibility of verbal and not-verbal communication that today can to be taken again in contemporary productions theatricals. Departing of an approach of esthetics, this work has with purpose concentrate the references esthetics that configure that one artistic manifestation such that one references can contribute for the Arts teaches in the present times. We appeal the text and image of Comedy dell Art, such this historical reference that in context, with fountain investigated that mean and if complementary in one esthetic reflection for the creation of meaning diverse and news interpretations for the purpose investigated if having with base some analysis categories such as: the actor s body, the actuations spaces and the esthetics categories such the ugly, the comic and the absurd. To investigate the Comedy dell Art esthetic in the ambit of the teach of Arts Scenics is a manner of be understand the artistic universe of three century behind that can be meant, revived, in the marking possibilities of an art teach able to incentive the critical, the appreciation, the discussion and the transgression of instituted true. Having investigated the exhibition Comedy dell Art esthetic we rebound four stich that we judge significative for we think the Arts Scenics teach, they are: the articulation between actor s body, the text and the space actuation in the play; statement what it is given between actor s body and the on-looker and the every gesture that did share of scene in a popular scenic space; a conception actor s body that transgress with the true duty socially that is capable the to admit its dimension Dionysian, creative and ambiguous in the to do theatrical; the text conception that get beyond the ambit the word writing by the dramatist and talked by actors, if spreading the other elements significance in the scene like gesture, the parody, the recent news, the gags and the word used in the day-to-day; the scenic space like a statement symbolic between actors and on-looker that make a quality of amusement pact supported by the scenic true of artist that actuate in not usual spaces bid at an auctioning degrees of participation in the building the scenic phenomenon; and the importance of esthetics categories such as the ugly, the comic and the absurd, those categories that foundation like a do scenic transgressor make a possible exchange mutual between actor and appreciator. The statement of esthetics categories in joint continuous between the body, the text and the scenic space evident themselves in doing theatrical and in the its appreciation. We believe that the reflection esthetic about the Comedy dell Art in the arts class, consider the stich detached, can favor possibilities of to share discovery, ideas, feelings and attitudes, and can permit the observation of different stich of view, establishing the statement of individual with the group in a participative and democratic form / Fen?meno teatral nascido na It?lia, a Commedia dell Arte chegou ao seu apogeu no s?culo XVI e se espalhou pelo mundo todo podendo ser vista como a base do teatro moderno. Apesar de tratar-se de uma manifesta??o teatral n?o mais existente na atualidade, entendemos que a Commedia dell Arte constituiu-se um fen?meno art?stico cuja est?tica, centrada no imagin?rio popular e no improviso, permitiu uma rica possibilidade de comunica??o verbal e n?o-verbal que hoje pode ser encontrada e retomada em produ??es teatrais contempor?neas. Partindo de uma aprecia??o est?tica, este trabalho tem como objetivo enfocar as refer?ncias est?ticas que configuram esse g?nero teatral, bem como essas refer?ncias podem contribuir para o ensino das Artes C?nicas na atualidade. Recorremos a textos e imagens da Commedia dell Arte, bem como refer?ncias hist?ricas que os contextualizam, como fontes de investiga??o que se intersignificam e se complementam numa reflex?o est?tica para a cria??o de sentidos diversos e novas interpreta??es para o objeto investigado tendo-se como base algumas categorias de an?lise como: o corpo do ator, o texto, os espa?os de atua??o e as categorias est?ticas tais como o feio, o c?mico e o grotesco. Investigar a est?tica da Commedia dell Arte no ?mbito do ensino das Artes C?nicas ? uma forma de estar compreendendo o universo art?stico de tr?s s?culos atr?s que pode estar sendo ressignificado, revivido, nos apontando possibilidades de um ensino de arte capaz de incentivar a cr?tica, a aprecia??o, a discuss?o e a transgress?o de verdades institu?das. Tendo investigado as configura??es est?ticas da Commedia dell Arte ressaltamos quatro pontos que julgamos significativos para pensarmos o ensino das artes c?nicas, s?o eles: A articula??o entre o corpo, o texto e os espa?os de atua??o nos espet?culos; rela??o esta que se dava entre os corpos dos atores e dos espectadores e de todo gestual que fazia parte da cena num espa?o c?nico popular, uma concep??o de corpo do ator que transgride com as verdades impostas socialmente, que ? capaz de admitir sua dimens?o dionis?aca, criativa e amb?gua no fazer teatral; a concep??o de texto que extrapola o ?mbito da palavra escrita pelo dramaturgo e falada pelos atores, estendendo-se a outros elementos de significa??o presentes na cena como a gestualidade, as par?dias, as noticias recentes, as gags e as palavras usadas no cotidiano; o espa?o c?nico como uma rela??o simb?lica entre ator e espectador que possibilita uma esp?cie de pacto l?dico favorecido pela verdade c?nica dos artistas que atua em espa?os inusitados oferecendo graus de participa??o na constru??o do fen?meno c?nico; e a import?ncia das categorias est?ticas tais como o feio, o c?mico e o grotesco, categorias estas que alicer?am um fazer c?nico transgressor possibilitando trocas m?tuas entre ator e apreciador. A rela??o das categorias est?ticas em articula??o cont?nua entre o corpo do ator, o texto e o espa?o c?nico se manifesta no fazer teatral e na sua aprecia??o. Acreditamos que a reflex?o est?tica sobre a Commedia dell Arte nas aulas de artes a partir dos pontos destacados pode favorecer possibilidades de compartilhar descobertas, id?ias, sentimentos, atitudes, ao permitir a observa??o de diversos pontos de vista, estabelecendo a rela??o do indiv?duo com o coletivo de forma participativa e democr?tica

El propósito de esta investigación La dramaturgia escénica aplicada desde el método de improvisación de Antonio Fava, basado en la Commedia dell’Arte consiste en la revaloración del hecho interpretativo de la técnica de la improvisación en la Commedia dell’Arte recuperada desde la pedagogía de Antonio Fava, quien maneja un sistema de composición detallada que favorece a la construcción del hecho teatral. De esta manera, se busca demostrar las diferentes técnicas, métodos y recursos que la improvisación ofrece. Además, se propone a la improvisación como fuente principal del proceso creativo y como método dentro de los recursos metodológicos que el actor contemporáneo necesita para fines de estudio, creación, construcción de personaje, composición de la poética y estética interpretativa y la composición de una dramaturgia escénica inimitable. A su vez, expongo los contenidos históricos de los que parto para situar a la improvisación como recurso escénico dentro de nuestro legado teatral, realizando una línea de tiempo de su evolución partiendo desde la aparición en el teatro antiguo y próximo auge y popularidad en el teatro del renacimiento italiano en la Commedia dell’Arte hasta su utilidad para la investigación del sistema de Stanislavski y, finalmente, su reinvención y transgresión de la técnica dentro de la impro y match impro con Viola Spolin y Keith Johnston. Todo ello ha permitido no solo describir la situación de la improvisación dentro de nuestro oficio en la actualidad, sino también conocer su recuperación desde la pedagogía de Antonio Fava, como una técnica comprendida dentro de la naturaleza del actor, la cual solo necesita ser ejecutada y liberada dentro del proceso creativo y así permitir que se ahonde para fines de elaborar presentaciones equipadas con propuestas innovadoras y singulares.

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.

The thesis affirms the relevance of "Theatre for Young Audiences" as a valid and distinctive genre; a performance genre that should entertain, educate and provide meaning in terms of its creative interaction with personal, social, artistic and cultural issues. The practice of playwrighting is removed from the assumption that it relies exclusively on inspiration, intuition and spontaneity; it is placed within a creative, experiential and discursive mode in which dramatic, theatrical, performance and structural issues can be researched, analysed and evaluated culminating in the crafting, making and presentation of innovative and challenging theatre. The research component of the thesis attempts to identify the social and moral responsibility of the playwright writing for young audiences. It is asserted that knowledge about the maturation of young people is crucial in the creative processes of writing plays and making theatre. The second chapter in Part One of the thesis, asserts that knowledge about the physical, emotional and intellectual maturation of the intended audience should clearly impact on the delineation of plot, action, character, language, audience participation, ethics and morality. The thesis clearly identifies the importance of this knowledge for the Arts Educator. However, "Theatre for Young Audiences" does not function solely in the realm of education. The thesis distinguishes this genre from those of "Theatre-in-Education" and "Drama-in-Education". The thesis firmly supports this distinction and affirms the status of "Theatre for Young Audiences" as a performing art. This argument is given further credence by the creative interaction of original scripts with the "living tradition" of the Commedia dell' Arte. The Commedia dell' Arte is examined from an historical perspective; pertinent features are addressed, selected, utilised and transformed into a dynamic theatrical experience for young audiences in contemporary South Africa. The Commedia dell' Arte serves as a theatrical model and becomes a creative device for further and renewed innovation. The inclusion of three original plays in Appendices 1, 2 and 3, plus numerous references to selected, original texts and performances provide an illustration of the concept that playwrighting for young people can effectively and imaginatively transpose theoretical inquiry into imaginative and challenging theatre experience. The thesis attempts to utilise a clear conceptual basis for the development of argument - the educational and psychological perspectives provide a foundation for ideas and critical writing. The theatre heritage becomes a catalyst for innovative and pertinent theatre that affirms the status, purpose and nature of "Theatre for Young Audiences" in contemporary South Africa. / Thesis (Ph.D.)-University of Natal, Durban, 1992.

Na referida pesquisa, são investigados aspectos da experimentação com elementos da Commedia dell´Arte com os jovens do assentamento, sendo os seguintes elementos escolhidos para orientar a investigação: a construção corporal dos tipos do gênero, a confecção de máscaras e a elaboração de roteiro. Após a aplicação da pesquisa-ação, foi verificado que tais elementos articulam-se e compõem, cada um com sua respectiva especificidade, o trabalho geral em torno das máscaras dell´Arte. A experimentação objetivou explicitar a apropriação e transformações realizadas pelos sujeitos participantes a partir de suas identificações culturais às máscaras trabalhadas. Para a aplicação da experimentação, foi realizada pesquisa teórica em torno de temas relacionados à Commedia dell´Arte, como o contexto histórico social e artístico de seu período, a cultura popular na Idade Média e no Renascimento, a perspectiva do grotesco nesses períodos e a função social do riso e de alguns de seus mecanismos de produção. Os resultados foram analisados pela perspectiva do pesquisador a partir das improvisações, do processo de trabalho, dos depoimentos e avaliações dos jovens e apontaram principalmente para a potencialidade de trabalho com a atualização de alguns elementos da Commedia dell´Arte a partir da imaginação e do contexto específico dos sujeitos participantes. / This study is an action-research accomplished with the young population of Agrarian Reform Settlement Poço Longe. In this research, aspects of experimentation are investigated with elements of Commedia dell'Arte with the young population of the settlement, the following aspects were chosen to guide the research: the corporal construction of genre types, mask making and creation of scripts. After the action-research was applied, it was verified that these elements articulate and make up themselves, each one with its specificity with the general work around the dell'Arte masks. The trial aimed to make explicit the appropriation and changes made by the subjects who participated from their cultural identifications to the masks worked with. In order to apply the experimentation, theoretical research was carried out on themes related to the Commedia dell'Arte such as the historical and social context of its social and artistic period, popular culture in the Middle Ages and in the Renaissance, the perspective of grotesque in those periods and the social function of laugh and some of its mechanisms of production. The results were analyzed through the perspective of the researcher from the improvisations, the work process, the statements and evaluations of the young population and particularly pointed to the potential of working with the update of some elements of Commedia dell'Arte from the imagination and specific context of the subjects who participated.

I en iterativ process i ett utforskande arbete undersöker jag om tintamaresken kan användas i fler sammanhang än inom den folkliga komiken. Genom litteraturstudium hittar jag en väg från den svenska bondkomiken till fjärmningseffekter i internationella teatertraditioner. Med hjälp av laborationer och kontrollexperiment prövar jag förhållningssättet och gestaltningar tillsammans med tintamaresken. Arbetet leder fram till begrepp och metoder man kan använda för att arbeta med tintamaresken i framförallt episk men också dramatisk teater.
