Shakespeare Session 1

We had a great time with Scott, the teaching artist from the American Globe Theater. Today's lesson focused on the tools of an actor: body, voice and face. Children were asked to consider the way their characters might say their lines: staccato (short, choppy) or legato (smooth). For homework tonight, each child was asked to look over his/her lines and decide how s/he will say it. Please keep this in mind if you are rehearsing with your child. Encourage your child to use the two techniques and avoid "reading" the text in a flat monotone voice. Thank you!
