Dell'Arte International School of Physical Theatre is a world-renowned institution that offers a unique approach to physical theatre training. The school was founded in 1971 by Carlo Mazzone-Clementi and is now led by his son, Paolo Mazzone-Clementi. The school is located in Blue Lake, California, USA.
Dell'Arte's training is based on the principle that the body is the primary instrument of the actor. The school offers a three-year program that focuses on the development of the whole person - body, mind, and spirit - through a combination of physical, vocal, and intellectual training.
The physical training at Dell'Arte is based on the techniques of commedia dell'arte, which are designed to increase the actor's expressive range and physical flexibility. The vocal training emphasizes the development of the voice as an instrument of communication and expression. The intellectual training develops the actor's ability to think creatively and critically about the choices they make onstage.
In addition to the three-year program, Dell'Arte also offers a number of shorter programs and workshops. These include the Summer Intensive, the Winter Intensive, and the International Summer School. Dell'Arte also offers a number of online courses.
Dell'Arte has a strong commitment to community engagement and offers a number of programs and resources for schools and community organizations. These include the Dell'Arte Education Outreach Program, the Dell'Arte Community Players, and the Dell'Arte International School for Physical Theatre.
Dell'Arte is an accredited institution by the National Association of Schools of Theatre. The school's alumni have gone on to have successful careers in theatre, film, television, and dance.
