    Description

    This course explores the many fascinating aspects of Tragedy, looking at texts from The Greeks, Shakespeare and the Modern Period; experimenting with the acting techniques associated with Tragedy, such as Mask and Chorus; and using some of the experimental approaches to text and staging that in situ: has developed over the past decade and a half.

    Participants will be asked to learn short dialogues from Greek, Shakespearean and Modern Tragedy which will be supplied on booking.

    As with all of in situ:’s work, there will be a strong emphasis on physical and vocal technique. And, needless to say, the subject might be Tragedy but the classes are, first and foremost, FUN!

    Time: 7:30pm – 10:00pm
