Daniel Foley

So... two weeks ago, Daniel Foley came to give us a lesson on Shakespearean Theatre.


DANIEL FOLEY
  • As an actor, Keep posture straight
    • pretend a string is pulling you up
    • someone is always watching YOU
  • Vocalize YOUR voice
    • make your presence known
    • let the audience know when you enter
  • Keep a rhythm
    • Shakespeare script is written with a beat
    • watch the tone, volume, and emotion in voice
    • emphasize the main words (usually at end of sentence)
WHAT WE DID:
  • walked to the rhythm and beat of Shakespeare phrases
  • acted out a few Shakespeare monologues
  • studied words, languages, and history of Shakespeare
  • repeated lines with more emotion, volume, spead
