    Over three decades, Italian actor Claudia Contin Arlecchino and theater director Ferruccio Merisi collaborated on tragedia dell'arte, a tanztheater technique based on the works of Austrian Expressionist painter Egon Schiele. Detecting formal relations between painted figure and performatic gesture, and composing such gestures into choreography, Contin Arlecchino and Merisi derived a figural dance from Schiele's visual works. By connecting painting with acting and dance, tragedia dell'arte offers an example of Western contemporary intermedial aesthetic. Ultimately, tragedia dell'arte demonstrates how dance can support acting in its engagement of painting.
