Physical Comedy on Film
Presenter: Rick Wamer
Everything is Physical: A look at physical comedy through the lens of the Physical Imagination. Rick will explore the foundations of physical comedy and the physical acting of significant contributors from the silent film greats to masters of the theatre. Elements that will be touched upon will include the mime of the stage and the natural mime of Chaplin and other silent film actors, as well as slapstick and its roots from Italian commedia dell'arte. Some of the presentation will involve experiential engagement on the part of willing participants.
