THEA 365: Acting Shakespeare Process & Performance

(1 Unit)
Prerequisite: THEA 251  or permission of instructor.
This class will develop a specific methodology and practice for the actor approaching a Shakespearean character. Students will learn to fuse Shakespeare’s heightened
language and verse with the contemporary psychologically-driven approach to acting. Emphasis will be placed on extensive “table work” prior to performance, where etymology, language mechanics, and scansion will be mined for playable action and nuance. The ultimate goal of the semester is to empower actors with a systematic, repeatable process for engaging any classical text with confidence and boldness. Staff.
