Physical Theater: From Shakespeare to the Fringe

Theater production isn’t always about projecting vocally. Movement related to characterization and story telling is also important to a successful production. By viewing plays at the Globe Theatre and participating in workshops in London students will see how important movement is and the history of movement in theater. Students will also experience modern movement and productions during a visit to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. The course, taught by UM faculty member Jennifer Mizenko, is open to all students but should be particularly interesting to theater majors. Students will earn 3 hours of credit for a course to be determined by the Department of Theater.

Program Highlights

• This program is open to all majors.
• “ Kensington was a very nice, clean area. It was very safe. You could walk the streets at night without fear. It seems everyone wanted to enjoy the evenings and have fun. Everything is right in the area and, if not, all you need to do is catch the bus or subway to go anywhere you want to go.” – Summer 2006 student
