HOW CAN THEY DO THIS WITH A STRAIGHT FACE??
I know training like this gives rise to great interpretations and characters but still watching it at work is so strange.. xD
Welcome to the arts, dear! We spend a lot of time making fools of ourselves so we can hopefully make something worth experiencing later. (plus it desensitizes us to making fools of ourselves unintentionally)
@@thegnome73 That is an excellent answer to that question. Stealing.
@@dangerics7308 Without plagiarism I hope?
It’s like, this will help me land a part in East Enders in a year or two? Yes. Somehow, yes it will. Lol
When the focus is on the artuculation of a character or role, the attention is so involved with the activity, the thought of silliness or of being concerned about how one appears to others has no room to exist...
The witch has concerningly sigma rizz

Hello, it's possible to extend the diagram out to the side, if you add two smaller circles to the outside of the diagram at the same height as the Witch and link with lines to the 1st Actor, 1st Actress, Pantalone & the Doctor. The young lovers (2nd Actor & 2nd Actress) are usually the children of the 1st Actor, 1st Actress, Pantalone or the Doctor. Because of their youth they sit outside the social hierarchy. Apologies for that omission from the diagram. Thank-you for your comment.
ok
BE ASHAMED THIS SUCKS
this is the MOST ridiculous thing I've ever seen....
A very interesting and informative video - you can learn a lot in 9 minutes when information is put together well and clearly delivered.
well said. sometimes a short video like this can be much more informative and educational than a long documentary. there are way too many documentaries out there that either have nothing to teach you or contain misleading and manipulative information similar to what you see on ads
sameeeeeeeeeeeeeee
but you can also detect some misunderstanding about commedia dell´arte !! eh eh .
That´s the drama of academic teaching and learning.
some people are here for school some people are here for genshin impact but all of us are gonna be learning something new ^_^
I am watching this video because I became really interested in Commedia dell'Arte after having watched the trailer of Genshin Impact that introduces its 12 Harbingers, which are based on these characters. I never knew about these before, and I am glad to know more! Thank you so much for putting this video together. Know that it is still appreciated 11 years later today.
same
mmm
Ok
yeeah Genshin fans rise xD
I HAVE TO WATCH THIS FOR DRAMA CLASS AND WHEN I SAW THE NAMES I ALMOST DIED-
Came here after Genshin reference to this .
5:04 When ur imposter in among us
Omg lmao 🤣🤣
I gotta ask who chose the " Tree of Life" to descibe a diagram of the archtypes in this form of theater....
right? very interesting, though.
Weird indeed.
Yes I wonder if it wasn't part of the esoteric understanding of the theatre at the time... The characters certainly work well with the planetary and other archetypal correspondences of the Sephirot
5:15 When its 10mins before lunch
BAHAH
God bless them for keeping these traditions alive
blah

Blah yourself!

Every view on this video is worth 0.002 pence or 0.00258 cents
1:19 wtaf
8:00 also wtaf
5:02 also also wtaf
i'm so confused lmfao
"An exaggerated mirror of society" that's when it all made sense. This play seems very disturbing nonetheless, but perhaps that's because it reflects on us humans, and shows the foolishness of our actions.
You really understand this
POV: your a British child doing this for drama work
Yup
yes
Years ago I unexpectedly came upon a Commedia dell'Arte production in a small square in Venice. Once I was given the premise of the action by an English-speaking Venetian seated nearby, I laughed along with everyone else at the hilarious antics of the actors. How lucky can one be, eh!
I've been laughing and enjoying this video tremendously. I'm an actor and I would LOVE to do a workshop on this, especially with a woman as knowledgable and amazing as Didi Hopkins. What a beautiful, awesome thing! I love how physical Commedia is. I would LOVE to watch this sort of theatre.
Very good video, but where are Pulcinella and Pedrolino?
That's what I was wondering, I came to this video specifically for Pulcinella because I was given him as a school project but he isn't here.

Looked at this in drama class in school lol😅 then we had to do something similar lol😂😂
Everyone is doing this for drama 🥲 I hate it, is it just me
This is dead had to do for homework
Nobody:

Thank you very much for your comment and best of luck in your performance.
Suddenly, I understand the Yip Yips from Sesame Street.
Schoolwork makes me wanna die at this point lol
5:07 my last brain cell leaving me
HAHAGHAGHAGAHHGAHAHA
These video's have helped me so much! I am studying Commedia right now in school and have been struggling with the characters, but now feel much more comfortable with them! They all make much more sense now. When I was first explained it all, the characters were so much to take in. Thanks again! (I'm playing one of the young lovers!)
GENSHIN IMPACT XD
Am I the only one who's here because they have a hyperfixation on Snezhnaya from genshin? And it's evolving
YES!
Me and my friend at 00:00
... 02:55
Wow. Such an informative and helpful video with getting to grips with the characters of Commedia dell'arte. A lot of info on the internet is ill-explained and contradictive to other sources, but this is great and Didi Hopkins is an undoubtable reliable source of knowledge on Commedia.
Hi David
even as a theatre kid I think this is so weird, but hey... you gotta do what you gotta do as an actor
No sé, yo vine aquí por Genshin 🐳
I love the amount of fellow students watching this video. I’m here for the same reason! 😂
No one:
Not a soul:
Not a sigh:
Guy who came on national theatre to get famous: 5:07
This is so interesting for me as a student of western Kabbalah - it seem to me that the diagram of the tree of life is used arbitrarily as a scheme to define the different energies/characters - interestingly enough - a scheme of 11 spheres is serving the characters - the diagram in its origin is 10 spheres where the 11th one is hidden.
- in tantric numerology there are 11 archetypes which probably match betters - these 11 ‘faces’
I honestly love this so much. The comment section has got to take themselves less seriously.
They never mentioned the Scaramouche.
Javier at one point true, but Shakespeare couldn't handle him after a week.
Italy has such a beautiful culture, I'm so proud to be italian
Didn’t ask
@@nsn6652 oops i did :)
@@Sarah-ot6ls huh, that’s weird because I don’t see any evidence that proves you did...
@@nsn6652 sorry that I didn't ask in the comment section where everyone could see
@@Sarah-ot6ls oh so you asked in real life? You went to this persons house and asked him to comment this exact thing on this exact TH-cam video? Seems unlikely...
I want everyone to know that this is but a version of this art. I actually go to a dell'Arte trust me i know
I think she likes Faulty Towers.
If they ask your fav part say the end. BRUV THIS GAVE ME AUTISM
This video is the pinnacle of multicultural autism.
I love how we r all here for homework 😂
Nothing I ever learned at school ever stuck with me as much as commedia did. Playing Brighella was the most I ever enjoyed acting. I have to find myself an improv group asap.
Everyone's talking about how they have to watch this for school but I'm here cause this is interesting to me
How sad
@@Nico12_04 luv 🙏
Can anyone help me understand how this follows the "Ha, guffaw, aw, Ha-Ha" formula?
Anyone here from TGAS
Santa claus looks a bit different here
I'm pretty sure I've seen birds do this on National Geographic...
thanks for the freaking homework pages omg
Anyone else watching this because of the storm? 🤣
Had to watch the whole damn thing for homework
Genshin Impact brought me here I was curious and I regret nothing
Me too
Off the top of my head, there are seventeen things I can do with this comment that are funny, and two that aren't.
is anyone here because its there home work because i am too
Here’s the summary for people having to do this for homework just so u can be lazy:
Magnifico- like an eagle, looks down on everything, leader of the city, most powerful man
Zanni- leading with nose, peasant, pigeon noises, extremely curious + enthusiastic
Pantalone (Sanya)- old man, the merchant, mean, has a lot of needs
The Doctor- old man, man of learning but understands nothing, hardly contains himself
Brighella- cunning, brain character, master or servants, proud of uniform, welcomes guests
Harlenquino- stupid, body character, intuitive and happy go lucky, thinks he’s gorgeous/kinda vain, doesn’t know the difference between right and wrong, lives in the moment, acrobatic and cheeky
:)
You're a fking legend! thank you
I thought I was weird
5:08 im crying of laughter
mum: go play with the neighbour's son the neighbour's son 1:19
Those masks are fantastic! Whish I could have someone like them
People who camer here for last minute homework 😅
👇
STOP READING COMMENTS AND WORK ON YOUR PROJECT
IM TRYING OK!?
Thanks National Theatre, great great help for studying Commedia! Didi Hopkins is a great educator, I hope to work one day with this lady.
this is absolutely cringe
uncultured dumbass
My school is starting a Commedia dell'Arte class, so this was extremely useful for really understanding what it's all about.
You are lucky your school is exposing you to this old form of theater!
My drama teacher has summoned me here
thought this was a joke at first...
8:00 My sister when she catches me eating chocolate

KamoKamal me -_-

Same😭😭😭😭
8:00 the nerburs kid
If u want to see a good example of this in real life go to your local Metal asylum
Lol
National Theatre why did you use the Kabbala diagram for this? I d love to know why and if you are associating that with the Commedia or if not why it is not acknowledged that that is the Kabbala diagram
4:49 *fortnite dances with him*
Boo
