Commedia dell'arte Master Class

I love it when you are working on a show and you discover a great moment of synergy.  As our production of The Servant of Two Masters starts its closing week, BYU's department of Spanish and Portuguese is having its own celebration of commedia dell'arte with a Master Class provided by the actors of the Compania de Teatro Espanola "Reymala." The class is tomorrow (Tuesday, April 2) from 1-2:30 on campus in B-092 JFSB. To see what our own actors went through in order to learn the basics of commedia, check out our Commedia Bootcamp.

Those artists are Berthe Morisot, Sofonisba Anguissola, and Margaret Macdonald Mackintosh.

Exposing the Power of the Everyday

By Belle Frahm

When I think of the word powerful, I often associate it with the really unique, rare, extraordinary moments in my life. I envision grandiose gestures or out-of-this-world ideas. However, through my research for BYU’s Art in Motion, three female artists changed my perspective of the word.
