Seminars and Workshops

Shakespeare's Globe

Students on the London Program are often thrilled to experience Shakespeare in the New Globe. Part of that experience includes a tour of the Rose Theater excavation, a tour of the New Globe, and a workshop led by a member of the Globe Education team. The workshop encouraged students to explore their acting abilities while also expanding their knowledge of Shakespeare.

Both the students from 2000 and 2001 found this to be a favorite workshop - and each group saw at least one performance in the Globe space.
(2000 - Tempest and The Antipodes)
(2001 - Cymbeline)

Theatre
de Complicite

Students on the 2001 program had the opportunity to spend an entire day with Clive Mendes of the internationally reknowned company. The day was split with the morning being a movement workshop and the afternoon spent discussing Complicite's technique for devising and adapting works for the stage. This was a phenomenal opportunity!

  
Students asked many questions of Mendes, excited to learn more about Complicite's process!
 
Faculty members Lesley Ferris and Jeanine Thompson also were excited by this landmark opportunity!
 

Trestle Company

Students from both programs were excited to experience a mask workshop with Trestle Company. This leading company performs with a variety of masks and their work is internationally recognized. The workshop teaches the basics of mask technique and all the students participated in improvisational scenes using the base level masks.
