Our first meeting is Monday, Feb 25th, 5-7 pm, Theatre in the Columbia Center for the Arts. (I apologize for misdirection on my part about the starting date via recent email!)
Please come on time--early is good. Wear (or bring) soft, comfortable "gym" clothes that you don't mind getting dirty. (No jeans!) Dress in layers in case the room is cold or we get warm from the work. Bring water. You might bring a towel or yoga mat for floor work. And, of course, you'll want some kind of notebook and writing instrument.
BEFORE CLASS:
1) Please choose one of Shakespeare's sonnets that you'd like to work with, and bring TWO easily legible copies of the sonnet with you to class. (You'll find a link to the full text of all the sonnets under the Links sidebar.) You are welcome to choose any sonnet that speaks to you--there are more then a hundred! If you'd like to narrow your options down, here's a list (by number) of some of my favorites:
18, 23, 27, 29, 30, 34, 55, 64, 71, 94, 116, 129, 130, 138, 140, 141, 143, 147
2) Please read your choice of one of the "Scene-by-Scene Summaries of the Play, Measure for Measure" (here after referred to as M4M) listed under the Links sidebar . If you like, you are welcome to read the full text of the play, as well as the commentaries, historical info, anything else you find of interest in the links provided.
Yup, that's right, homework before class even gets started! Just to get you in the Shakespearean frame of mind. As one of my most beloved voice teachers used to say: Are you ready for a heightened experience?
