Federica Ferrieri Rosie Pelan Undiscovered Bergamo Shakespeare for Actors: Comedy With the new flights from Belfast to Bergamo, many of us are planning to visit Milan or Lake Como. But why don’t we spend one or two days in this beautiful city? Let’s take the cable car and visit “Città alta” (the upper city), with plenty of monuments, restaurants and wine bars. Maps and some other material will be given to participants to help them plan their next Italian holiday! Explore the particular challenges and delights of performing Shakespearean comedy in this accessible workshop led by Rosie Pelan, a classically trained actor with over twenty years’ professional experience of playing leading Shakespearean roles. Rosie devised and taught ‘Shakespeare in Performance’ at QUB and was the NI judge on the BBC’s ‘Shakespeare Off By Heart’ project, hosted by the Crescent Arts Centre and televised at the RSC. Rosie will provide texts but feel free to bring your own pieces to work on if you wish.
