A COURSE FOR EXPERIENCED ACTORS AND POSTGRADUATE ACTORS

lead by Laura Pasetti

18th April - 24th April 2009

This course is designed to help the actor further investigate the structure of the Shakespearian language, engage in a deeper analysis of the circumstances presented by a specific scene and to create and sustain the necessary energy to support performance.

Subjects of study will be:

• Iambic pentameter and rhythm
• Use of the space
• Structure of the play
• Establishment of the relationship between two characters
• Construction of the scene
• Construction of the character

A series of exercises will aim to support the actor's work to best enable him/her to understand the material and its context, process it and ultimately deliver the performance.

• Exercises will include:
• Breathing and vocal work
• Focusing
• Body awareness and analysis
• Energy awareness and building of Intensity on stage

Each participant will be allocated a part in a dialogue scene and can expect to take part in individual, pair and group work. Participants will be informed of scene allocation a few days in advance.

Accommodation: A list of B&Bs and hostels will be made available upon request.

Deadline for receipt of applications is Tuesday 14 April.

If you wish to attend but are not able to meet this deadline date, please contact us.
