 On 27th of October we had a fantastic experience with Gary Fordham, a famous English actor who is having workshops in several schools in Italy.
In 90 involving minutes we plunged into Shakespeare’s world. The first embarrassing moments faded away very quickly since he was able to draw us into a very active and dynamic lesson using his great energy and enthusiasm. He explained the importance of theatre and then he focused on Shakespeare’s time, when the theatre was a very lively place and people had fun and clapped their favourite actors or insulted them. But the best part of the workshop was when we became “actors”.
We performed little roles from Shakespeare’s plays and we acted like real actors! Our performances were accompanied by music and props and we had a lot of fun playing the role of famous characters (Romeo and Juliet just to mention some). We all enjoyed this experience and we realized how modern Shakespeare’s plays are and how this playwright has inspired films, novels and cartoons. It has been a different way to study and to learn English and we are sure that we’ll remember some famous lines for ever! |
