Shakespeare Camp, Day One

Phew!! What a day!! We had our first day of Shakespeare Camp, and it was a great success!! The stage was alive with the bustling energy of the play from 8:30AM to 4:30PM. Everybody was incredibly great about it all, putting all their effort into making everything look absolutely incredible!! Great work everyone!!

But all the same, we all need to consider more how we can prepare for the scenes. On which side of the stage do your props need to be? Where will you be entering? How can you position yourself better when your onstage? Is there anything you can do to emphasize or stress your lines? Give it some thought tonight, and we'll be sure to make even more progress again tomorrow!!

Oh, and the afternoon cast was so busy with the performing, that they forgot to take a break for the snack, and as such never got to see the Globe Newsletter!! For those of you who missed it, you can download them HERE and HERE. {(I'm sorry the linkage is broken!! I'm trying to get it working again.. Please be patient!!)}

Eitherway, be sure you all get some rest!! I'll see you tomorrow!!

  1. It was fun! But I have a problem!! I'm Mustard-seed in the afternoon cast, but I'm a girl! Bottom calls me Master Mustard-seed. Is there some way we could change that?

  3. Ah!! Yes. We're talking with Matthew Mindeman about addressing you as either "Lady Musterseed," "Madam Musterseed," "Mistress Mustarseed," or even just "Mustardseed." Many thanks!!

  4. Just "Mustardseed" would work, I think. Easier for Matthew to remember. Thank you so much, I thought people would get confused. :D
