University Courses
For-credit courses delivered in partnership with the Universities of Guelph and Windsor, Western, Brock and St. Jerome’s University (affiliated with the University of Waterloo).
WHEN:
May 3-15, 2021 (online)
No class on Sunday
Voice & Text: 9 a.m.-noon
Shakespeare in Performance: 1-4 p.m.
- Voice & Text: This intensive immersion will focus on acting the language of Shakespeare. The work will be practical in its philosophy and its application, wholly designed to give the aspiring actor a handful of tools with which to explore, personalize and perform Shakespeare’s text. The work takes the form of two major sections, both integral to each other. First, the student will experiment with practical tools to decipher Shakespeare’s language and make it their own. Meanwhile, exercises in voice will encourage and enable the actor to develop those facets of their instrument that allow them to further access, experience and communicate Shakespeare’s language. Students come to the course from varying levels of acting training. Previous acting experience and/or experience with Shakespeare is not necessarily a path to success in the course.
- Shakespeare in Performance: This course provides the opportunity for both academic and online experiential learning about three of Shakespeare's plays. Students will participate in intensive classroom study and discussion; Q&As with cast members of shows; and virtual classroom visits from renowned actors in the Stratford Festival Company. Shakespeare in Performance will examine filmed productions of Shakespeare plays in terms of stage history, performance choices, changing reception and social contexts.
