Instead of a normal performance, the Drama Group will focus on the basics of vocal acting and on two projects this summer. In the first weeks, we will explore the essentials of elocution technique and voice acting, learning how to use your voice effectively and how to create characterisation with your voice. Building on this basis, we will then produce a series of videos about literary classics – we will choose and work on the texts together in class before adapting them as short and humorous video summaries. For the last weeks of the semester, we will work on an adaptation of Geoffrey Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales, using both Middle English and Modern English – but don’t worry, no previous knowledge of Middle English is needed!
You do not need any prior knowledge of acting to participate, and you do not need to be a student of English – everyone is welcome to join. If you are interested in drama, but prefer not to act, we will find a spot for you in our backstage team, which will be centred on video recording and editing as well as social media and advertising this semester, although there will also be some costume, hair and makeup design to do. Feel free to simply drop by in the first session!
The class will consist of online sessions via Microsoft Teams in the beginning of the semester, with a potential switch to partial classroom teaching if the situation improves significantly. If we do switch to classroom teaching, this will only concern one of our two weekly rehearsal dates to ensure that everyone can participate, and you will be notified of this well in advance. It is no problem if you can only make one of the weekly dates. If you would like to participate in the Drama Group, please write an email to buedg.englit@uni-bamberg.de for further information. We will then add you to our team on MS Teams and look forward to meeting you in the first week of the semester!

- Inhalt:
- William Shakespeare's works are well known, or should be well known, to all students of English literature. However, when reading Shakespeare some people struggle to fully appreciate his language or his brilliantly designed characters.
This course aims at all of those students who would like to enjoy Shakespeare's works together with other students. Thus, we will not only read two pieces by Shakespeare, one comedy and one tragedy, we will also provide a platform for discussion or even stage a few scenes to further our understanding of what is going on.
If you want to join us, you need not have any previous knowledge, only bring a copy of the play and comfortable shoes.
- Empfohlene Literatur:
- William Shakespeare. King John.
William Shakespeare. Timon of Athens.
