Stage de théâtre en anglais – Shakespeare’s Fools

Description

Taught by Hannah Coyle and Hope Newhouse

“The fool doth think he is wise, but the wise man knows himself to be a fool.”

Bottom, Dogberry, Touchstone, Trinculo – the fool is an icon of Shakespeare’s plays. Moving through the stories with freedom and humor, acting both as comic relief and wise observer, the fool is often the most insightful character on the stage. This workshop combines text analysis and physical theatre exercises to allow you to discover and inhabit these joyful, musical and articulate jesters. If you’ve participated in Commedia dell’arte or Acting with Your Whole Body, this workshop is a great complement to apply those skills. Not sure how to make sense of Shakespeare’s words? How do you pronounce it? What does it mean? Don’t worry we will cover that too!
