Dear Students, Please see below. From: English Sent: Wednesday, February 08, 2017 9:33 AM To: Tiffany T Thomas Subject: FW: SHAKESPEARE ACADEMY @ STRATFORD - NOW ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS FOR SUMMER 2017 Best, English Department 718 997 4600 [like_us_on_facebook]<https://www.facebook.com/QCENGL> From: Kelly Letourneau [mailto:kelly@shakespeareacademystratford.org] Sent: Tuesday, February 07, 2017 4:50 PM To: English Subject: SHAKESPEARE ACADEMY @ STRATFORD - NOW ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS FOR SUMMER 2017 Hello, As a fellow educator and Shakespeare enthusiast, I am pleased to share with you an exciting summer training opportunity. The Shakespeare Academy @ Stratford is a six-week theater and performance program currently accepting applications for our 2017 ensemble. We would be grateful if you could share this information with your Queens College English undergraduates. In addition to being the Shakespeare Academy @ Stratford Program Coordinator, I am also a SA@S alum! Please feel free to reach out with any questions and share my contact information with any interested students. More information can be found below as well as on our website<https://kellymletourneau-dot-yamm-track.appspot.com/Redirect?ukey=1e0K91X_I…>. Thank you! All my best, Kelly Letourneau Program Coordinator, Shakespeare Academy @ Stratford kelly(a)shakespeareacademystratford.org<mailto:kelly@shakespeareacademystratford.org> APPLY BY APRIL 1 TO JOIN THE SHAKESPEARE ACADEMY @ STRATFORD'S 2017 ENSEMBLE [cid:image003.jpg@01D281EE.515BDCA0] The Shakespeare Academy @ Stratford is a six-week theater and performance program that uniquely combines the study of Shakespeare's text, contemporary ensemble training, and the opportunity to rehearse and perform in two of Shakespeare’s plays in repertory. The 2017 program runs from June 26 to August 8. Now entering its fourth season, SA@S provides 14 students from around the U.S. and abroad with a rigorous, collaborative and immersive conservatory experience. Housed together in Stratford, Connecticut, the ensemble trains and performs on the property that once housed the legendary American Shakespeare Festival Theater where performers such as Katharine Hepburn, Paul Newman and Christopher Walken brought their magic to the work of Shakespeare for decades. Perhaps the most exciting and unique aspect of the program is the chance to rehearse and perform in not one but TWO Shakespeare productions simultaneously in the final week of the program. Beginning this season, SA@S will invite a working professional to serve as guest director on one of the two productions. This summer, New York City based director, Jessi D. Hill, will direct The Tempest and SA@S Artistic Director Brian McManamon will direct the second play, Measure for Measure. In addition to daily ensemble classes and weekly work-in-progress showings, the SA@S ensemble participates in master classes led by internationally recognized instructors from programs such as Juilliard and the Yale School of Drama. Master classes in 2016 included acting, text, Droznin, Lucid Body, voice, speech, clown and stage combat. The Shakespeare Academy @ Stratford is looking to assemble a diverse ensemble from a wide range of experiences and backgrounds. Students entering college, attending college, as well as recent college graduates may apply. Prior training in theater and/or Shakespeare is not a requirement for admission. Two scholarships will be awarded this season. Application deadline: April 1st. Instructions on how to apply as well as more information about the program, faculty, and classes can be found on our website<https://kellymletourneau-dot-yamm-track.appspot.com/Redirect?ukey=1e0K91X_I…>. If you or your students have any questions about the program, please feel free to e-mail me at kelly(a)shakespeareacademystratford.org<mailto:kelly@shakespeareacademystratford.org>.

We will read - and create - a range of examples of the form, from biography to memoir, from history to journalism. Through our readings and exercises, we will discuss the uniquely powerful ways comics connect with readers, and the different ways the comics form allows for the treatment of "truth." We'll unpack the "comics process" and devote class time to various brainstorming and collaborative exercises that have been proven useful in producing strong comics work. Early in the semester you will formulate a nonfiction comics project which you will work on throughout the term, according to an individual plan. Please bring writing and drawing materials - whichever ones you're most comfortable with. Readings for the course include comics by Scott McCloud, Matt Madden, Alison Bechdel, Art Spiegelman, Marjane Satrapi, G.B. Tran, Raina Telgemeier, Joe Sacco, Harvey Pekar, Tom Hart, Craig Thompson, Dan Archer, Guibert & Lefevre, and others.
