ARLECCHINO SOLO COMMEDIA DELL'ARTE Il Sogno di Arlecchino. COMPLETE PERFORMANCE

www.fabriziopaladin.com
PERFORMED BY FABRIZIO PALADIN
“Commedia Del'Arte is the foundation of most modern comedy. Unfortunately it is often presented like an exhibit in a museum, frozen and without life. Then I saw the show created by Fabrizio Paladin. With only two actors, in an early production of the show at the Celebration Barn Theater in the US, the world of Commedia is brought to life in such and exciting way that you have to see it to believe it. Don't miss this one.”

"Fabrizio is an energetic and charismatic performer. [His workshop is] an invaluable means of coveying the principles of this enduring art form”
Gene Terruso - Former Director School of Theatre Arts, University of the Arts. Philadelphia.USA
"Fabrizio brings humanity to his approach... He brings a point of view and skillset that is so rare, but very much needed in our world"
"I believe he is among the best Commedia and physical theater teachers i have ever worked with”
James Savage Jr., MFA
Assistant Professor of TheatreThe School of Visual and Performing Arts

“Fabrizio Paladin is not only one of the world’s foremost authorities in the classic Commedia dell'arte theater tradition, he also embodies each of these stock characters with such skill and authenticity, it’s almost enough to make me believe in reincarnation! Further, Fabrizio is a natural teacher with an ability to inspire students to go beyond their comfort zones and habitual ways-of-moving to tap into the innate Commedians inside themselves. This is partly because Fabrizio understands the psychology of these larger-than-life characters and eloquently explains the science behind their timeless relevance and attraction to actors and audiences everywhere”.
I wish there were more hyperboles to describe Fabrizio and his work, but suffice it to say, he’s the Real Thing!
Sincerely,
Karen Montanaro.
“...Fabrizio is nothing less than a treasure of the Italian Theatre, and I highly recommend his talent, drive and spirit (…) His understanding of Commedia is exceeded only by his physical prowess, clever mask work, and improvisational mastery. He not only claims his birthright to perform Commedia Dell’Arte, he has made it his mission to spread its relevance, its artistry and its hilarity”.
Aaron Cromie - Mask/Movement Faculty Ira Brind School of Theatre Arts. The University of the Arts. Philadelphia. USA
"And that's what it was on Tuesday evening in the Holon's Puppet. A powerful and inspiring master class guided by the Italian masks actor Fabrizio Paladin, for about 4 hours, while juggling between his teaching and guiding abilities and his virtuoso performance skills, in front seven actors-participants and a crowd of dozens of spectators - he intensively and in generosity boomed knowledge, wisdom and insights of comedic acting and improvising”
Ilan Savir (Director Israel Puppet Center Holon) Tel-Aviv. Israel
"Skillfully crafted by a master of improvisation, Fabrizio Paladin’s “The Exhausting Affairs of Love” is an outrageously playful spectacle beautifully exemplifying the timeless charms of Commedia dell’Arte."

Dear Friends, I've been on a beautiful journey. With so many changes happening right now, this practice has provided sanctuary. *Please reach out if you'd like to learn more.
Studying with Fabrizio Paladin has been game changing for me both as an artist and an educator. He openly shares a vast wealth of experience and knowledge about Commedia dell'Arte in a way that is fun and engaging. Even better, he brings the characters and masks to life and connects the dots for the artist to demonstrate how this training can translate into any genre of performing. Commedia is the subject, but it's also his vehicle for helping the student sharpen improvisational skills, hone in on timing and rhythm, and awaken a new awareness in the body. Mr. Paladin is a master of his craft, and I'd advise anyone searching for an opportunity to enhance their talent to seize the opportunity to learn with him.

Fabrizio set a new standard in my mind that all Commedia artists must now live up to"
