in today's episode, we are joined in discussion with Kelly Hunter, MBE, to discuss her work producting shakespeare for autistic audiences. we will discuss Kelly's professional journey that led her from working with the Royal Shakespeare Company, the National Theatre, and on the West End to founding The Flute Theatre @flutetheatre and developing the Hunter Heartbeat Method in collaboration with autistic individuals. Kelly Hunter, MBE, began working in theatre aged 17 playing The Mistress in Evita in the West End in 1980. Since then she has been creatively engaged in theatres, performing and adapting and directing Shakespeare. Kelly has also taught and directed students across the world. Kelly is the author of Cracking Shakespeare, which serves to demystify the process of speaking Shakespeare's language, offering hands-on techniques for drama students, young actors and directors who are intimidated by rehearsing, performing and directing Shakespeare's plays, and Shakespeare's Heartbeat: Drama Games for Children with Autism. Kelly developed the Hunter Heartbeat Method, a series of sensory drama games, which allow autistic individuals to share how it feels to be alive and celebrate their identity. Autistic individuals have created this award-winning methodology across the world, working with Kelly over the last twenty years. Kelly is the artistic director of @flutetheatre, which produces award winning productions of Shakespeare and runs long term community projects for people marginalised by autism. The Flute Theatre is renowned for our innovative productions of Shakespeare including specialised shows for autistic individuals, refugees and those displaced by war. These productions use the award-winning Hunter Heartbeat Method. The Flute Theatre performs internationally, adapting the language of their performances to the needs and ears of their audience. They also perform in the UK and internationally with refugees and those displaced by war. . . . . . . #shakespeare #williamshakespeare #shakespearepodcast #classicalactor #theatreactor #learningshakespeare #teachingshakespeare #shakespearean #elateacher #theatreteacher #dramateacher #theatrepodcast

in today's episode, we are exploring the historical context for the family feud and violence between the capulets and montagues in william shakespeare's romeo and juliet. we briefly revisit the history of medieval bloodfeuds that we examined in our episodes on macbeth, then we dive into the pratices of vendettas and dueling in the italian renaissance and how this form of violence was imported into england, scotland, and wales in the late 1500s and early 1600s. we examine the rise in popularity of dueling among young men of the english nobility and gentry, how the public theatres romanticized and dramatized dueling, and how shakespeare wove this trend and reactions to it into the plot of romeo and juliet . . . . . . #shakespeare #williamshakespeare #shakespearepodcast #shakespearenerd #shakespearegram #earlymodernstudies #englishliterature #englishlit #theatrenerd #theatrekid #classicalactor #theatreactor #learningshakespeare #teachingshakespeare #shakespearean #shakespearestudies #aplit #aplitmemes #elateacher #theatreteacher #dramateacher #romeoandjuliet #womeninpodcasting #actorpodcast #podcasters #podcastsofinstagram #theatrepodcast

Happy Solar Eclipse! Ep 15 of Fat & Greasy is up. The moon is a real c-blocker and it’s also a fairly consistent topic in Midsummer Act II, in which we enter the fairy kingdom of Oberon & Titania.

In this episode of Fat & Greasy, it doesn’t take long for Chuck and Gabe to see that A Midsummer Night’s Dream is a beautiful play. This act sets up the duke’s wedding, the love square between Hermia, Helena, Lysander, and Demetrius, and the seemingly unrelated idiocy of the Mechanicals in a concise and entertaining way.

in today's episode, we are joined by Dr. Danielle Rosvally & Sydney Schwindt to discuss how fight choreographers approach staging moments of violence in theatre, specifically in shakespeare's plays. we will discuss how they collaborate with directors and actors to safely depict violence on stage, the state of the fight direction community, and how anyone can learn more about safe, consent-based practices for staging violence onstage. Danielle Rosvally, Ph.D., is an assistant professor of theatre at the University at Buffalo where she serves as resident violence coordinator. She is a fight director, actor, dramaturge, and director. Danielle has been crafting and performing staged violence for over twenty years, and has written about fight direction for venues such as Theatre Topics, Fight Master Magazine, and various edited collections. As a researcher, Danielle specializes in Shakespeare; her book on Shakespeare as an economic value comes out with the State University of New York press in July. Sydney Schwindt wears many hats in the theatre world; she is an actor, director, fight director, and educator. She is a resident artist with the San Francisco Shakespeare Festival and works frequently with SPARC Theatre. She is an advanced actor combatant with the Society of American Fight Directors and is on the advisory board for the Same Boat Theatre Collective. She has taught movement and stage combat at Indiana University and the American Conservatory Theatre's Graduate program. Sydney directed "As You Like It" with San Francisco Shakespeare Festival's Shakespeare on Tour. It is running from now until mid May 2024 all across California. Check the websites for a public performance near you! www.sfshakes.org. She will be directing "Twelfth Night" with the Starling Shakespeare Company this summer. The show runs in rep with "Henry IV, Part 1" from June until September, 2024. . . . . . . #shakespeare #williamshakespeare #shakespearepodcast #shakespearenerd #shakespearegram #theatrenerd #theatrekid #classicalactor #theatreactor #shakespearean #theatreteacher #dramateacher #womeninpodcasting #actorpodcast #podcasters #theatrepodcast

each year, in recognition of the National Day of Mourning/ Thanksgiving holiday in the united states, we examine how british colonialism is irrevocably intertwined with shakespeare. This year, we are taking a look at how shakespeare's works have been used to critique the legacy of colonialism. we will look at how adaptations of shakespeare's work from martinique, barbados, cuba, and kenya have utilized shakespeare's stories and characters to represent and unpack the effects of colonialism. we also discuss a 2011 palestinian production of a midsummer night's dream that intentionally worked to create post-colonial version of dream. . . . . . . #shakespeare #williamshakespeare #shakespearepodcast #shakespearenerd #shakespearegram #earlymodernstudies #englishliterature #englishlit #theatrenerd #theatrekid #classicalactor #theatreactor #learningshakespeare #teachingshakespeare #shakespearean #shakespearestudies #aplit #aplitmemes #elateacher #theatreteacher #dramateacher #womeninpodcasting #actorpodcast #podcasters #podcastsofinstagram #theatrepodcast
“what do you read my lord?” / “words words words.” (hamlet II.ii) . shakespeare loved words. he even made up ~a lot~ of words that we still use today. but here is an outdated word for the heavens that he uses in 17 of his plays. it is widely accepted that the architectural design of the the globe theatre inspired shakespeare's language, and the painting of the heavens on the the roof that covered the stage might be what actors referred to when they spoke these lines. also: props to the shakespeare's globe for its recreation of the heavens for us to admire! . . . . . . #shakespeare #williamshakespeare #shakespearepodcast #shakespearenerd #shakespearegram #earlymodernstudies #englishliterature #englishlit #theatrenerd #theatrekid #classicalactor #theatreactor #learningshakespeare #teachingshakespeare #shakespearean #shakespearestudies #aplit #aplitmemes #elateacher #theatreteacher #dramateacher #linguistics #language #wordswordswords #shakespearememes #womeninpodcasting #actorpodcast #podcasters #podcastsofinstagram #theatrepodcast

in today's episode we are joined by Carson Brakke to discuss how early modern concepts and anxieties about hospitality and cannibalism influenced early modern literature and drama, most explicitly in shakespeare's titus andronicus. Carson breaks down the early modern concept of hospitality and shares the cultural debates and dilemmas that centered around it and its inherent dangers. join us as she guides us through the cognitive dissonance surrounding cannibalism for early modern Europeans, who simultaneously used it to other non-europeans while possibly participating in cannibalism themselves! we also explore how readers and theatre-makers today can use this knowledge to interpret scenes of hospitality and cannibalism in shakespeare and other early modern works. content warning: cannibalism is discussed throughout this episode. please listen with care. our guest: Carson Brakke is a PhD candidate at the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign, and is writing her dissertation on representations of hospitality in early modern English literature. In addition to hospitality, her research interests include domesticity, food studies, and women’s writing. To break up the solitary work of dissertating, Carson uses her TikTok platform to talk about early modern literature and the PhD experience. You can find her @glutenbergbible, where she’s always looking to chat with more people about research, academia, and the weird and surprising sides of early modern English literature! . . . . . . #shakespeare #williamshakespeare #shakespearepodcast #shakespearenerd #shakespearegram #earlymodernstudies #englishliterature #englishlit #theatrenerd #theatrekid #classicalactor #theatreactor #learningshakespeare #teachingshakespeare #shakespearean #shakespearestudies #aplit #aplitmemes #elateacher #theatreteacher #dramateacher #titusandronicus #womeninpodcasting #actorpodcast #podcasters #podcastsofinstagram #theatrepodcast
