Deadline:
May 18, 2018
This is a final registration call for the Durban
Actors Studio’s 2018 Shakespeare Production Programmes.
The Shakespeare Production Programme walks
students through the creative production process and prepares all to perform an
abridged Shakespearean play at The Playhouse, as part of the Shakespeare for
School Festival.
Since 2015 Durban Actors Studio students
have performed in Macbeth, Hamlet, A
Midsummer Night’s Dream, As You Like It and Merchant of Venice.
“We believe teaching students to perform
Shakespeare gives them a deeper understanding of Shakespearean text; this
programme enables students to use their own judgement in defining how to
perform a period role, expands understanding of Shakespearean language and, subsequently,
can give learners an academic advantage studying Shakespeare as part of the
English curriculum,” says Gill Brunings, director of the Durban Actors Studio.
Participation in the annual Shakespeare
Production Programme is split over two age groups, Senior (Grade 8-12) and
Junior (Grade 4-7) – participation in this programme is open to anyone who has
a passion for performance and/or wants to learn more about the world’s most
successful playwright and understand why words, which were written over 400
years ago, are still relevant today.
There are currently five places left in the
Junior Programme and eight places in the Senior Programme.
