1) Shakespeare

• Led by Nadia Nadarajah, you will explore how stories, lexicons and timelines contribute to a greater understanding of Shakespeare’s plays. You will look at the use of Shakespeare in contemporary art forms and the role his stories have played in the recreations and interpretation of the text. You will explore the language of Shakespeare through meaning and how to translate it into the visual poetic language of BSL.

2) Modern Text

• This module will look at modern plays and work with monologues led by Ilan Dwek. You will learn how to avoid certain pitfall in translating from modern English into BSL such as resisting the overpowering nature of English form over visual expression.

3) Auditioning

• The last 2 sessions will be led by RADA’s Associate Director and Chair of Audition Panel, Nona Shepphard. This will be a chance to put theory into practice learning audition technique. If you have already attended the Audition Technique module on previous Hub courses, this is optional.

This course is open to actors of all abilities 

Suitable for fluent BSL users and /or have at least level 4/6.
