Descripción de la actividad

The best players in Shakespeare's Globe have just that, playfulness, ready to respond to what comes their way. It is space that changes with the weather and the time of day, its players need to be as alive as the space. They have warmth and openness of communication. They have energy and focus. They communicate Shakespeare's muscular text with the senses, with intellect, emotion and passion and integrity. This course will experiment with how the very architecture of the Globe influences our choices. Practically we will play games to open up spontaneity and engagement with each other. We will explore how the honesty and effectiveness of what we communicate changes with our body language. We will work with language, sound and  breath, which not only helps vocal power but is the root of any story. Actors who have conquered the Globe space experience a power and a confidence that they carry with them. This course will begin to introduce you to some of the tools Globe Actors use to achieve that. The week will culminate in a short presentation of scenes from Macbeth and A Midsummer Night’s Dream.

Participants would need to be familiar with the following texts: Macbeth and A Midsummer Night’s Dream 

All sessions will be delivered in English and all texts will be provided in English

Biography 

Joanne has worked intermittently at Shakespeare's Globe since 1993 as an actress, freelance director and teacher. Her students have included inner city school classes, teachers in training from all over the world, BA and MA performance students and the totally inexperienced who she has nurtured into performing on the Globe stage. She has also run outreach workshops for the Globe in the US, Germany and China. Joanne directed productions of Othello and Much Ado About Nothing in the Globe and then touring to schools and theatres in the UK and Caribbean.  

Elsewhere she has used Shakespeare to explore sensuality in language for the perfume industry and run workshops at Sussex University on self expression and assertiveness. She has been directing on the BA and MA courses at GSA/Surrey University, at Florida State University, at E15/Essex University and at Duke University in North Carolina, USA.  

All this while working as an actor most recently for The Globe itself in the acclaimed touring production of Much Ado About Nothing, as well as for companies as diverse as the Royal Shakespeare Company, Chichester Festival Theatre and Told By An Idiot, and on TV in Doctors, Wallander and Spooks.  

Joanne has a BA honours degree in Theatre Arts from Rose Bruford College.

The Globe Theatre, teatro de Shakespeare en Londres, desarrollará un taller de cinco días en inglés  para actores profesionales y estudiantes de arte dramático en base a las obras de Shakespeare y su puesta en escena.

Globe Education runs a distinguished training programme for undergraduate, postgraduate and professional actors. Our work is delivered by Globe Actors, Globe Education Practitioners and specialists, who share their approaches to working with Shakespearean drama in both the Globe Theatre and the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse. Actors who work with us will explore how the unique architectural conditions of these theatres help to shape performance choices and unlock the versatility of the Shakespearean text. Our emphasis on text work enables us to help trainee and professional actors develop their own practice of classical acting in any venue.
