The Art of Theatrical Film: A Live Training Experience (for teens)

The Art of Theatrical Film: A Live Training Experience (for teens)

In-person

 

In partnership with The Lewes Public Library Spoken Word Society and Shakespeare Festival and the Classic Theatre of Maryland (CTM) join the Tony-Award nominated, Helen-Hayes Award-winning Donald Hicken and CTM’s Founder and Producing Artistic Director Sally Boyett as they provide live training in the art of sonnet and monologue performance, delivered through the medium of film.

Prior to the live experience, CTM will provide students (ages 14 - 18) with select Shakespearean sonnets and monologues for memorization. Donald and Sally will provide one-on-one coaching in front of the participants so that all may learn, before and after their personal opportunity. The coaching and ultimate delivery will occur with full, live film materials and equipment. Participants must have their selection fully memorized by the date of the event.

Donald and Sally will be assisted by Folger Ridout (tentative), trained at the famed Lucasfilm Ltd. in California and Director of Education Matt Tucker (MDiv, ORDM). The mission of the Classic Theatre of Maryland is to produce bold, re-imagined, entertaining and accessible interpretations of classical works, contemporary plays, and musicals with a core commitment to the works of Shakespeare and other major dramatists. CTM is committed to promoting the highest level of artistic excellence, to cultivating the widest possible audience, and to contributing to the economic and cultural growth of our community, state, and region.

Class size is limited and registration is required. Participating students and their parent/guardian must sign this CTM Media Release Form. If possible, please download, complete, and bring it with you to the session.

The Shakespeare Festival, a program of the Lewes Public Library since 2015, seeks to provide the community with experiences that foster the understanding of Shakespeare and the world in which he lived and wrote. In addition the Festival fosters the development of new works celebrating the spoken word and hosting performances of classical texts.

The Shakespeare Festival is partially funded by a grant from the Delaware Humanities, a state program of the National Endowment for the Humanities.
