Course Description

Summary

An advanced acting class where we will go beyond scansion and take much deeper dives into the more challenging and perhaps lesser known of Shakespeare's speeches and scenes along with some of our favorites. Previous work with actor's instrument will be required as basic knowledge of character analysis and truthful expression will be essential to apply to the work of powerful personalization of Shakespeare’s brilliant characters and how they come to find their events unfold. Some vocal work will include a warm-up to strengthen and care for the voice and relieve tension. You will be expected to rehearse outside of class. Reading of the plays will be required and, though we may survey proper pronunciations of heightened language, it will matter most that you know what you are saying and that we believe it.
