This week centers around the content of Shakespeare’s writing and contextualizing it. What does an actor search for when they begin a soliloquy? Does understanding how Shakespeare’s own theater company performed his material affect how we approach it today? How does an actor use rhetorical arguments, antitheses, and other devices to their advantage?
This is the second session of Performing Shakespeare; a 3-part class formed around meeting Shakespeare’s words, devices, and verse with our own imaginations. Together, we will dispel any lofty superstitions around Shakespeare and alleviate the need to adhere to the “rules” of performing his texts, instead using those conventions as clues to inform the choices we make. The result will be characters who are as nuanced, indecisive, and passionate as we are.
