This is an exciting and packed one-day workshop with international commedia dell'arte expert Didi Hopkins. Didi will take you through the history, characters and traits of Italy's ancient performance form. Gain a grounding in the commedia tradition and explore your own performance potential.

The day is a masterclass in technique via a focus on the body. If you are a comedy writer, performer or fan then Commedia dell'Arte is a brilliant and unique way to extend your practice.
