SHAKESPEARE OUR FRIEND

TO THE MODERN ACTOR Shakespeare can seem to be a difficult mystery because of the style of his writing.

But this is not so.  The style of the writing is easy to understand if you really look and stop the panic and think!

When I was a leading actress for the Royal Shakespeare Theatre for over nine years, of course I met and worked with John Barton.

Since graduating form the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, I had already found the pleasure and delight in acting in a Shakespeare play in other companies. It was John who opened my eyes as to how easy it is to perform.  Since when I have travelled to many countries and added my own inspiration and collected knowledge to develop what he showed to me.

Over our workshop three days we will use ’hands on’ practice to prove to each other and ourselves the fun that lies within.

Everyone must bring a sonnet of Shakespeare’s, which they have learnt, and translated, into their own words.  The translation, whether made from or with English or Norwegian must be written down and handed to me when we meet.  This makes the actor really think about that he is saying and the person to whom he is talking.  Specificity, as I am sure you are aware, is the clue to all acting.  Then all we have to do is to match Shakespeare’s particular style of writing to what you understand, and ”Hey, Presto!”

In any case the Norwegian people have such a gift for language and speak English so well I hope that we can work together in English.  However, if you are nervous of your ability, don’t worry.  You have excellent translations made by your own poets.  The translation I saw at Haugesund in the productions of ”Twelfth Night” was so good, that I know we will be able to make progress easily.

We shall start with sonnet work to understand the structure of the writer, and then move to scenes or speeches.
Come and enjoy.
