Exploring Shakespeare through Performance

Tuesday
Professor James Loehlin and students from the Shakespeare at Winedale program at UT Austin will highlight the complexity of the Shakespearean text and the interpretive options it provides.
“Our access to Shakespearean texts is always mediated through print,” explains Leohlin. “We’re dependent on the early print versions, such as those in the Harry Ransom Center’s collection, and then we have to make our best guess from those. Performance invariably serves as a kind of interpreter of the text.”

Working with scenes from the spring 2016 Winedale production, they demonstrate how language, stagecraft, interpretation, and audience reception combine to generate the range of powerful experiences Shakespeare's plays can yield.
