EVDIV 73 - Advanced Performing Shakespeare: Group Class


Brian McManamon
This class is for those who have taken Performing Shakespeare and are ready for a continuation of the foundational work that furthers their understanding of and passion for Shakespeare. This course will dive deeper into the relationship between the structure of verse, the intellectual argument and releasing a characters thoughts and emotions through text. Students will experience how the form, rhythm and meaning of Shakespeare’s verse can lead the actor to find specificity, impulsivity and expressivity in their work. The class will offer tools not rules; clues not constraints. Pleasure will be taken in tipping Shakespeare off of his proverbial pedestal and discovering how these plays can live through and speak to us in this moment in time.
