The cast

I was a member of Historical Performance Ensemble for many years. The Artistic Director was Catherine Lee. My role in this professional company,  was as a Commedia dell’Arte expert, an historical actor, director, writer and dancer.

Angela attended our Commedia workshop that took place in Florence, Italy. Angela has very good energy and a positive attitude in relation to her collaboration with others. Her creative approach to the work makes her a pleasure to work and create with. Angela combined her previous with acting skills, commedia dell’arte theatre and Renaissance dance. Her goal in attending our workshop was to further develop her already rich experience as comic actress.

In my workshop, Angela learned elements that I learned from my Commedia Master Ferruccio Soleri in the Piccolo Teatro more than 20 years ago.”
