The College of the Arts is thrilled to announce a three-year pilot program with RSC Learning (RSC\u2019s educational arm) that will pave the way to establishing a long-term partnership, aligning the two organizations\u2019 mutual dedication to unlocking the transformative power of Shakespeare and theatre practice.<\/p>\n

The “Takeover”<\/h2>\n

The ten-day residency has a focus on student artist development and will be led by three RSC practitioners: actors Ewa Dina and Emma Manton and director Aaron Parsons.<\/p>\n

The \u201ctakeover,\u201d as RSC refers to it, puts on hold the regularly scheduled classes in the Theatre programs and substitutes with a series of “Shakespeare Gym” masterclasses for acting and musical theatre students, a series of practical classes with students exploring key aspects of verse speaking, a rehearsal project leading to a script-in-hand performance of Richard III<\/em>, and a series of seminars with Theatre Studies students.<\/p>\n
