How do we identify the various elements of historical fiction during text preparation: style, character, dialogue, setting, theme, and social norms?
How do we bring the social, historical, and political mores and ideas of the book’s era into our performances?
How do we make unfamiliar, stylized, or heightened language personal to you and accessible to a contemporary audience?
Text will be assigned for this class with scenes from a number of time periods and sub genres in historical fiction with an opportunity as always for everyone to read with feedback and direction.
Class is $99, payable via PayPal (@shannonmarguerite) or Zelle (preferred, 703-861-4261).
