La Voz de Shakespeare
LA VOZ DE SHAKESPEARE- an exploration of Shakespeare’s text through our linguistic identity.
In this master class participants will explore how their own accent/linguistic identity –their prosody— inflection, rhythm may help them connect more viscerally to the sense and meaning of the text.
- How we can explore Shakespeare in a bilingual way. (Spanish/ English or Spanglish).
- Find a greater cultural and visceral connection to the text
- Part two: If time allows, we will explore how we linguistically transform from one’s idiolect/ accent to another using the text—finding greater linguistic clarity.
“Shakespeare es para todos –Shakespeare is for all”
Register ahead of time – limited space.
Participants will work on a 2-minute piece of text of their choice (15-16 lines of text ) memorized or partly memorized.
