Week 1 - Acting the Role: BEATRICE (Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing) - The Rehearsal Room

✴️ 👉 *Do you prefer the SINGLE camera view used here or would you rather see EVERYONE at the same time (normal Zoom view)? Comment below! 👇*
🏁 We dive into the first week of work on the character BEATRICE: exploring the dynamics between Beatrice and Benedict; the concept of wit as a form of communication; and addressing themes such as gender roles, societal expectations, and love. You'll see the group analyze key scenes, including the gulling of Beatrice and Benedict, the wedding scene, and the pivotal confrontation where Beatrice demands Claudio's death.
