SECOND TUESDAYS WORKSHOPS ON THE EDGE

CLUES TO ACTING SHAKESPEARE
LED BY CATHERINE BEHRENS

Learn how to speak the language of Shakespeare. Shakespeare wrote for actors and embedded stage directions in his verse. Discover these clues by using the techniques described by Leslie Van Tassel in his book Clues to Acting Shakespeare. The workshop will focus on three areas: the rhythm of the verse, breathing, and the use of antithesis. Understanding these basics will lay the groundwork for advanced study for those who desire it.

Workshop leader Catherine Behrens is a retired editor and an actress. She founded the Hourglass Readers in 2006, a group dedicated to exploring classic dramatic works from Aeschylus to Shaw. Catherine is the Board Secretary of The Edge Ensemble, an ensemble member, and she has performed in a number of its productions.

Tuesday - May 8, 2012 - 6:30 p.m.
Heberton Hall (Keene Public Library Annex), 76 Winter Street
Cost: $20 per person.
