One of the key ingredients to starting up or improving your commedia experience is networking with like-minded folks. For those folks in the SCA or looking to recreate commedia dell\u2019 arte in the style of pre-1620 Europe, these resources will help you connect online with other commedia practitioners.<\/p>\n

    There are other resources for supporting your commedia addiction *ahem* practice outside the SCA\u2026. And remember much of the non-SCA production of commedia leans towards 17th<\/sup> and 18th<\/sup> century style of performance instead of 16th<\/sup> century which is what we study in the SCA. Learning the difference in styles depends a great deal on reading the literature, seeking out the imagery, and being very mindful of the publication dates. The bibliographies in the Compleat Anachronists #172 and #173 will help guide that study for you. Until you read all that, be mindful of the tendency for non-SCA commedia practitioners to be teaching post-SCA-period styles and enjoy the wide variety of artistic paths available to you. This is just a taste of the online resources available to you, and these are focused on connecting you with *PEOPLE*!\u00a0 More to come on other literature and imagery sources.<\/p>\n
