Voraussetzungen / Organisatorisches:

1. Module:

• Bachelor Anglistik/Amerikanistik: Studium Generale (up to 2 ECTS)

Inhalt:

This semester, as is usual for winter semesters, we will not work on a full-length play for a full performance but instead focus on honing our skills not limited to acting only and work on a variety of smaller and medium projects. These include working on individual scenes, producing short videos for our YouTube channel and more encompassing projects such as picking up a previously planned 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). But that is not all: we can hint to further plans using pot plants and writing of our own, and a very special crime fiction project with a unique performance opportunity!
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, and, as hinted, writing to do. Feel free to simply drop by in the first session!

The class will mostly consist of online sessions via Microsoft Teams, but we are planning to have in person sessions for acting exercises, rehearsals, and filming as well. If the situation allows us, those will happen once a week or once every other week, and you will be notified of this 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!
Directors: Amelie Biersack, Alicia Drefs, and Alice Limmer (pending)

Termine:

Do, 18:00 - 20:00, Raum n.V.

Voraussetzungen / Organisatorisches:

In the winter semester 2021/22, the Shakespeare Reading Group will be conducted via MS Teams. Please contact the lecturer to get access to the team.
This course is an extracurricular course and does not offer any ECTS credits. Anybody interested in reading and discussing Shakespeare is very welcome, regardless of their course of studies.

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 per semester, we will also provide a platform for discussion or even stage a few scenes to further our understanding of what is going on (corona providing). If you want to join us, you need not have any previous knowledge, only bring a copy of the play and sign up via e-mail to the lecturer to get access to Teams.
