It was recognized for being comedic, improvised, and having clear elements: characters are easily recognized by their movements, look, and mannerisms Performances based on scenarios with mostly improvised themes Use of mime, movement, music, and masks to tell the story, Commedia dell’arte has a lot of benefits for Deaf actors and hearing actors to explore through the communication with their body movement without depending on ASL interpretation and facial expression.
