Shakespeare’s language has its own rhythm and structure. So does Auslan – we put its poetry, metaphor and comedy centre-stage. Performing Shakespeare in Auslan provides a natural story-telling and poetic imagery.
Translating the rich, pun-riddled text of Shakespeare into Auslan is not an easy feat. A collaborative workshop to unpack the language, concept and meaning when working with directorial vision. In creating an interpretive version with few dramaturgical tips, you will be able to perform a Shakespeare text.
Come and participate in this workshop to learn dramaturgical approach to Auslan translation. Auslan skills must be at conversational level as this is not a teaching class.
