Shakespeare in Performance I
Actors
Workshop with
Aaron Posner
Posner
will use his groundbreaking work considering the first printings
of the Shakespeare texts in performance, on the rehearsal floor,
and in the classroom to form the basis for his workshop. This
workshop will focus specifically on the ways that the folio
and quarto texts contain directions to the actors. He will
use contemporary editions as reference points. Posner will
use professional actors from local theater companies to demonstrate
how an understanding of the text's internal directions can
help a contemporary actor, director, or teacher gain crucial
insights into developing a Shakespearean role. He will then
invite members of the audience on stage to test his methods.
