Shakespeare, Adaptation, or What you Will
In this workshop, we'll explore Shakespeare's metamorphic potential from the inside out through a creative writing and performance exercise. After briefly examining a scene from a Shakespearean play, well break into groups that will adapt it into new, short, impromptu plays. We'll then share our impromptu adaptations with each other. We'll all have a great time playing with and talking back to Shakespeare through adaptation!
