Описание: The organization of Shakespeare`s plays has baffled audiences and critics since the 17th century. It is not the narrative arc alone that organises the plays but a complex structure of interwoven narratives and thematic actions. While the narrative varies from play to play, thematic actions are invariably designed in mirroring pairs around the central scene: A-B-C-B-A.

'Julius Caesar is, simply, Shakespeare's African play' John Kani
In 2012, actor Paterson Joseph played the role of Brutus in the Royal Shakespeare Company's acclaimed production of Julius Caesar - Gregory Doran's last play before becoming Artistic Director for the RSC. It is a play, Joseph is quick to acknowledge, that is widely misunderstood - even dreaded - when it comes to study and performance.
Alongside offering fascinating insights into Julius Caesar and Shakespeare's writing, Joseph serves up details of the rehearsal process; his key collaborations during an eclectic career; as well as his experience of working with a majority black cast. He considers the positioning of ethnic minority actors in Shakespeare productions in general, and female actors tackling so seemingly masculine a play in particular. Audience reactions are also investigated by Joseph, citing numerous conversations he has had with psychologists, counsellors and neurologists on the subject of what happens between performer and spectator.
For Paterson Joseph, his experience of playing Brutus in Julius Caesar with the RSC was a defining point in his career, and a transformative experience. For any actor or practitioner working on Shakespeare - or for any reader interested in his plays - this is a fascinating and informative read, which unlocks so much about making and understanding theatre from the inside.

Описание: What skills did Shakespeare's actors bring to their craft? How do these skills differ from those of contemporary actors?Early Modern Actors and Shakespeare's Theatre: Thinking with the Body examines the 'toolkit' of the early modern player and suggests new readings of the plays of Shakespeare and his contemporaries through the lens of their many skills.
Theatre is an ephemeral medium. Little remains to us of the plays of Shakespeare and his contemporaries: some printed texts, scattered documents and records, and a few scraps of description, praise, and detraction. Because most of what survives are printed playbooks, students of English theatre find it easy to forget that much of what happened on the early modern stage took place within the gaps of written language: the implicit or explicit calls for fights, dances, military formations, feats of physical skill, song, and clowning. Theatre historians and textual editors have often ignored or denigrated such moments, seeing them merely as extraneous amusements or signs that the text has been 'corrupted' by actors. This book argues that recapturing a positive account of the skills and expertise of the early modern players will result in a more capacious understanding of the nature of theatricality in the period.

Описание: Shakespeare’s women rarely reach the end of the play alive. Whether by murder or by suicide, onstage or off, female actors in Shakespeare’s works often find themselves ‘playing dead.’ But what does it mean to ‘play dead’, particularly for women actors, whose bodies become scrutinized and anatomized by audiences and fellow actors who ‘grossly gape on’? In what ways does playing Shakespeare’s women when they are dead emblematize the difficulties of playing them while they are still alive? Ultimately, what is at stake for the female actor who embodies Shakespeare’s women today, dead or alive? Situated at the intersection of the creative and the critical, Performing Shakespeare’s Women: Playing Dead engages performance history, current scholarship and the practical problems facing the female actor of Shakespeare’s plays when it comes to ‘playing dead’ on the contemporary stage and in a post-feminist world. This book explores the consequences of corpsing Shakespeare’s women, considering important ethical questions that matter to practitioners, students and critics of Shakespeare today.
