The style used in Commedia Dell'Arte is still used in sit-coms today and also in plays such as 'Waiting For Godot'; this play uses the same kind of slap-stick comedy, where the characters are not always 'being funny', however they are funny because they don't realise they are being funny. This is very similar to some of the characters in Commedia
well actually i don' really know the answer but i need to know the answer myself so that my drama teach won't shout at me g2g bye bye
Commedia Dell'arte is a form of theatre that uses masked actors to enhance the physical attributes of the characters. There is a major focus on the movement of the characters in this style of theatre and, therefor, it is one of the skills required for effective performance.
Because it forms the basis of our modern drama and the characters can be easily recognised within modern soaps and romantic comedies. What is generally considered Shakespeare's inventiveness when it comes to comic scenes and characterisation can also be identified in the commedia scenarios, some of which pre-date his plays.

Technology has greatly influenced drama. With the use of technology foreign dramas are dubbed into local dialects. Drama subtitles are also a result of technology. The use of musical pieces to give more weight to a drama is also a result of technology.
Commedia dell'arte is a form of theatre that began in Italy in the 16th century characterized by masked "types", the advent of the actress and improvised performances based on sketches or scenarios.
If it weren't for commedia, the characters wouldn't be quite so dramatic on stage. For example, your drama teacher might be telling you to "not make so many large movements" instead of, "BIGGER, BIGGER, BIGGER!!!" This is because the movements and costumes in commedia are so dramatic and exaggerated, or over-the-top if you're not into big words. Good luck!
