Course Description

MFA acting students will tackle verse drama and heightened language. We will spend much of our time investigating Shakespeare’s writing, with a focus on King Lear and Much Ado about Nothing, and will weave in contemporary heightened language texts throughout the semester. 

Goals

  • To develop students into keen interpreters of heightened theatrical language, both classical and contemporary

  • To enable students to express their instinctive emotional responses to the rhythms, sounds and the mysteries contained in great language texts

  • To bring character and the specific imaginative world of each play alive thru the language

  • To foster each actor’s unique voice
