Shakespeare Fills 'Monthlong Intensive' Program - December 19, 2007
LENOX - Shakespeare & Company has filled its popular "Monthlong Intensive" with 48 professionals.
This year's participants will be traveling from as far away as Australia and England to study with some of the most respected teachers of Shakespeare in the nation from Dec. 28 to Jan. 23.
To be put on the wait list or for more information on this and other programs, contact Scott Renzoni, training programs associate, at 413-637-1199, Ext. 114 or www.shakespeare.org
This program brings actors together with more than a dozen faculty members who will spend more than 10 hours a day, six days a week digging into the heart and meaning of Shakespeare's works.
Led by Dennis Krausnick, director of training, and Dave Demke, associate director, the faculty is composed of women and men who act, direct, and teach not only at Shakespeare & Company, but many other cultural and academic institutions in the United States, Great Britain, Australia and Canada.
The program weaves together text analysis, movement, Elizabethan dance, Alexander technique, Linklater voice work, stage combat, exploration of the actor/audience relationship, sonnet and scene work and discussions about the function of theater and the role of the actor in today's world.
The methods taught are said to be unique to Shakespeare & Company and provide the groundwork and artistic vocabulary behind all of its performances. For nearly three decades, the company has developed and refined the intensive, which is the heart of its methodology and extensive training programs.
Faculty also includes artistic director Tina Packer, master teachers Kevin Coleman, Ariel Bock, associate artistic director Michael Hammond, Susan Dibble, Michael Burnet, Marc Scipione, Tod Randolph, Claire Reidy, Mary Coy, Anne Brady, Tori Rhoades and Michael F. Toomey.
Alumni of the workshops now number over 1,600 and represent over 20 countries. |
