Shakespeare And Lecoq - A Practical Guide For Actors, Directors, Students And Teachers

by Abigail Rokison-Woodall e Ed Woodall

~~20,26€~~ 18,23€ 10% OFF

 <b>This book provides actors, directors, teachers and students with a clear, practical guide to applying the work of influential theatre practitioner Jacques Lecoq to the process of rehearsing or workshopping the Shakespeare text. <br/></b><br/>Written by theatre practitioner Ed Woodall, who trained with Lecoq himself, and Shakespeare academic Abigail Rokison-Woodall, this guide begins with warm-ups and ensemble-building, and moves through explorations of the story, the world of the play, the text, character emotion, thought and physicality and staging. <br/> <br/>Lecoq''s method often relies on ''play'', and play is often seen as trivial or inconsequential. This book argues that the more playful you are, the more playfully you investigate your speech or scene and the more physically motivated that playfulness is, the more vital and lifelike your acting of Shakespeare will be.

You And Thou In Shakespeare - A Practical Guide For Actors, Directors, Students And Teachers

by Penelope Freedman

20,26€ + 10% CARD

 Romeo and Juliet always use ''thou'' to each other, but they are the only pair of lovers in Shakespeare to do this. Why? All the women in <i>Richard III </i>address Richard as ''thou'', but no man ever does. Why? When characters address the dead, they use ''thou'' - except for Hamlet, who addresses Yorick as ''you''. Why? Shakespeare''s contemporaries would have known the answers to these questions because they understood what ''thou'' signified, but modern actors and audiences are in the dark. Through performance-oriented analysis of extracts from the plays, this book explores the language of ''trulls'' and termagants, true loves and unwelcome wooers, male impersonators, smothering mothers, warring spouses and fighting men, as well as investigating lèse-majesté, Freudian slips, crisis moments and rhetorical flourishes. Drawing on work with RSC actors, as well as the author''s experience of playing a range of Shakespearean roles, the book equips the reader with a new tool for tracking emotions, weighing power relations and appreciating dazzling complexity.

Shakespeare And Meisner - A Practical Guide For Actors, Directors, Students And Teachers

by Aileen Gonsalves e Tracy Irish

20,26€ + 10% CARD

 This practical handbook is invaluable for anyone performing, teaching, studying or simply wanting a new way to enjoy Shakespeare. It provides an outline of Meisner''s work and legacy, a discussion of that legacy in the light of the enduring global popularity of Shakespeare, and a wealth of practical exercises drawn from Meisner''s techniques.<br/><br/>Shakespeare writes about the truth in human relationships and human hearts. Sanford Meisner''s work unlocks truthful acting. They would seem a perfect match. Yet, following Meisner''s note to his actors that ''text is your greatest enemy'', Shakespeare and Meisner are often considered ''strange bedfellows''. <br/><br/>The rhetorical complexity of Shakespeare''s text can often be perceived as rules an actor must learn in order to perform Shakespeare ''properly''. Meisner''s main rule is that ''you can''t say ouch until you''ve been pinched'': in other words, an actor must genuinely feel something in order to react in a performance which is alive to the moment. This book explores how actors can use Meisner''s tools of ''acting is reacting'' to discover the infinite freedom within the apparent constraints of Shakespeare''s text.
