Classical Studio 1.1/1.2 is a project-based, two-semester course for directors and actors in their second year focused on developing the skills necessary to direct a play by William Shakespeare. The course begins with an examination of the processes of rehearsal, starting with text analysis, early staging, and the honing of textually specific and physically engaged acting. Directors each select a play which they spend the fall semester adapting for a small cast and to be performed in an hour. The spring semester focuses on methods of rehearsal as each adaptation is mounted for performance at the end of the semester.
