During his career, CoF’s Producing Artistic Director Scott Palmer has directed more than a dozen Restoration-era comedies. As a physical acting style, Restoration Comedy is a challenging, intellectual, and hyper-stylized approach to movement, interaction, tension, character, and comedy.<br><br> In this workshop, participants will learn about the history of Restoration comedy, gain skills for creating and performing physically demanding Restoration-era trope characters, and examine the fast-paced, caustic wit of the great Restoration comedy writers. <br><br>All participants will be assigned characters in advance of the workshop, and will be asked to memorize a short scene and work in teams for a final performance for the group.
