Here’s a selection of very useful education videos on various aspects of the world of Commedia dell’Arte from the National Theatre in the UK. I have used these videos as an academic introduction to Commedia with Year 9 Drama students and have found them very worthwhile. Quality Commedia videos are hard to find, so enjoy this bunch!
