Politics Business Science Sport Roses Freshers Muse › Arts › Features Reviews Books No Holds Bard Daniel Bowen gives us a preview of the diverse line up as The International Shakespeare festival comes to York Tuesday 21 April 2015 Image provided by York Theatre Royal Image provided by York Theatre Royal York’s streets regularly host festivals, and one I’ve been anticipating for a long time and that is now approaching quickly is the York International Shakespeare Festival, from 8 to 17 May. Being an English student and having grown up an hour away from Stratford-upon-Avon, nothing makes me feel quite at home as a couple weeks devoted to celebrating the Bard himself. While not everyone gets quite as excited about Renaissance drama as I do, I think the line-up is certainly diverse enough to allow anyone to discover something they find entertaining. There is a healthy serving of classic Shakespeare. I’m particularly looking forward to Flanagan Collective’s Romeo and Juliet, which will feature an all-female cast. The company has a reputation for choosing eccentric locations to stage their plays; this production will be making use of the space at St. Olave’s Church – an appropriately picturesque backdrop for a play filled with religious imagery. Northern Broadsides are putting on a full-scale production of King Lear, and Two Gents Productions hope to put gender roles under scrutiny with their performance of Taming of the Shrew. York Shakespeare Project, responsible for sell-out productions of Othello and Twelfth Night at York Theatre Royal, are giving us their take on the lesser known Timon of Athens. Our very own Drama Barn is contributing to the festival, too, with their production of Richard III. Already cast and in the works since the start of last term, it certainly looks promising. The festival has also given space to contemporary exploration and reinterpretation of Shakespeare’s work, with a particular focus on international interpretations. Catalonian actor and puppeteer Miguel Gallardo will attempt to bring new life to Shakespeare’s best known play in Hamlet: A Diagnosis, while Polish company Teatr Strefa Otwarta are using improvisation and audience interaction to explore the relationship between Hamlet and Ophelia. Japanese solo performer, Aki Isoda, plays Lady Macbeth and Ophelia in her drama Two Shakespeare Heroines. For those with an interest in contemporary poetry, Yorkshire-based poets Charlie Dupre, Paul Maxy, Rose Condo and Sarah Thomasin have all been invited to give their own take on the works of the Bard, performing in The Stories of Shakey P. For the real enthusiasts, the University is also putting on several free public lectures, inviting international academics working in the field of Shakespearean studies to come and present in the Bowland Auditorium over the course of the festival. These include Irena Makaryk (University of Ottowa, speaking on ‘Shakespeare in Ukraine: Voicing the Times’), Professor Ton Hoenselaars (Utrecht University, ‘Sing Like Birds I’Th’Cage: Cultivating Shakespeare In Captivity 1914- 2014’), Margreta de Grazia (University of Pennsylvania, ‘Ends, Exits and the Eschaton in King Lear’) and York’s own professor, Mike Cordner, who will also lecture on King Lear. The festival will also be supplemented by several film screenings. The highlight of these may be Svend http://nouse.co.uk/2015/04/21/no-holds-bard Archived 11 Dec 2018 09:33:45 Nouse Web Archives No Holds Bard Page 2 of 3 Gade and Heinz Schall’s 1921 Hamlet, which will be screened in the Sir Jack Lyons Concert Hall. This screening, led by female Hamlet, Asta Nielsen, will present a recently restored colour-tinted print of the film recovered in Germany and will feature a score composed by Robin Harris. The film will be introduced by Judith Buchanan. City Screen are also putting on Maxine Peake’s recent performance as Hamlet and at The Basement you can watch Ralph Fienne’s Coriolanus. Finally, Opera Restor’d revive Lampe’s Pyramus and Thisbe: a rarely performed early comic opera based on the same Ovid story as the scene in A Midsummer’s Night’s Dream. Spoilt for choice; if I had a little bit more money and fewer exams, I would definitely try to see it all. Most Read Discussed 1. The Movements: The Theatre of Cruelty 2.

  • BARD BASICS an OVERVIEW of SHAKESPEARE and HIS WORLD Bard Basics & Background Findley
    BARD BASICS AN OVERVIEW OF SHAKESPEARE AND HIS WORLD Bard Basics & Background Findley A LOOK AT THE ELIZABETHAN STAGE IN 1576, A CARPENTER NAMED JAMES BURBAGE BUILT THE FIRST THEATRE IN ENGLAND, WHICH HE CALLED, SIMPLY, THE THEATRE, THE FIRST TIME THE WORD WAS USED TO A BUILDING SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED FOR THE STAGING OF PLAYS. UP TO THIS TIME, PLAYS HAD BEEN PERFORMED IN INN YARDS AND BEARBAITING ARENAS. FOLLOWING SEVERAL YEARS OF COM- PLAINTS AND PROBLEMS WITH LANDLORDS AND OBJECTIONS TO THE RAU- COUS CROWDS, THE THEATRE WAS DISMANTLED AND ITS TIMBER FERRIED ACROSS THE THAMES TO BE USED TO BUILD A THEATRE THAT WOULD COME TO BE KNOWN AS THE GLOBE. IT IS HERE THAT SHAKESPEARE MADE HIS HOME, HIS FORTUNE, AND HIS NAME AS A GREAT PLAYWRIGHT. GLOBE FACTS: • The playhouse may have had as many as twenty sides, giving it a circular appearance • It was an open-air theatre that held about three thousand spectators • Performances were given every day but Sunday, and plays ran from two to five in the afternoon, so that sunlight wouldnʼt bother the audience and the players. • Since the London council considered play-going immoral, they prohibited city managers from advertising. Managers triumphed over this by raising a flag before the performance: black signified tragedy; white, comedy; and red, history. • As people entered the theatre they would drop their admission into a box (hence box office). Ticket prices depended on the location of the seat, or lack of one. Spectators could sit on cushions with the gentry in the cockpit or stand elbow-to-elbow with the mob in the back.

The event was due to take place at Grays Court on 4th July, and for many weeks everyone involved had been looking forward to it tremendously. Sadly, a last-minute breakdown in communications between the venue and ourselves made it impossible for the show to go forward.

  • A Cognitive Study of Gesture in Shakespeare's Plays
    Actions that a (Hu)man Might Play: a Cognitive Study of Gesture in Shakespeare’s Plays Thesis submitted by Laura Seymour for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at Birkbeck, University of London. 1 Declaration The work presented in this thesis is my own. Signed: 2 Acknowledgements In the seventeenth century, the word ‘cognition’ could mean ‘acknowledgement of gratitude’. In the words of John Evelyn in 1655, ‘I must justifie...with infinite cognition, the benefit I have received’ most of all from my incredibly wise and generous supervisors Laura Salisbury and Gillian Woods; there is no way I could have written this thesis without their encouragement and the way that they illuminated Shakespeare’s plays and ideas of representation and cognition. I am hugely grateful to Adam Smyth and Michael Dobson for their supervision in the earlier stages of the thesis, to Isabel Davis and Susan Wiseman and everyone else who helped me at Birkbeck, to Sarah Cain for encouraging me in my studies before I arrived here, and to Amy Cook, Rhonda Blair, Raphael Lyne, Peter Garratt, Guillemette Bolens, Tim Chesters and Kathryn Banks, and the other members of the Cognitive Futures in the Humanities network. Also I would like to say thanks a million to all of my friends and loved ones for their help and support, especially Sandy Steel for his constant kindness and for keeping my motivation and morale up, Sophie Zadeh for chatting to me about violence and society, Amrita Dhar for filling my times in the RSC archives with her clever ideas and laughter, and my family for supporting me throughout the whole of my studies.

Sticky carpet. Check. Calls of two little ducks 22. Check. Puns about balls falling. Check. That was until we went and started to research what the Bingo was really like (as opposed to our ideas of what we thought it was). It’s fast, furious, stressful and it’s a bloody good night out. It made us think, wouldn’t it be good to try and write a show that shared those same characteristics.
