Acting Shakespeare: Interactive Acting Workshop for High School Students




Acting Shakespeare:  
Interactive Acting Workshop for High School Students
Wednesday, April 27, 4-6pm

Celebrate Shakespeare with a prepared soliloquy, speech, or two-person scene from Romeo & Juliet, Hamlet, or As You Like It. Participants should choose something which engages them passionately and have the work well enough in hand (memorized if possible) in order to explore the text in a playful, workshop atmosphere.  (A soliloquy or speech should be roughly 1-minute long and scenes approximately 5 minutes.) Bring your script and courage to grapple with the Bard.  No prior experience is expected.  

Registration is extremely limited. A few spectator seats will be available.

Facilitator: Terryl Hallquist, Associate Professor of Theatre, Vanderbilt University.

Terryl Hallquist has directed well over 80 plays at Vanderbilt University and is especially proud of her productions of Shakespeare’s All’s Well That Ends Well, The Tempest, Hamlet, The Winter’s Tale, As You Like It, Taming of the Shrew and Much Ado About Nothing. Each spring she teaches a course in the Theatre Department entitled:  Shakespeare in the Theatre.
