Info:
The San Francisco Shakespeare Festival presents acclaimed Shakespearean actor and Los Angeles Women's Shakespeare Company Artistic Director Lisa Wolpe in a Master Class setting. Audience member will watch her extraordinary teaching approach as she works with Resident Artists from the Festival and demonstrates performance techniques and explorations of the 'alchemy of gender'. The event is appropriate for adults and older teens.
Admission is complimentary but an RSVP to sfshakes@sfshakes.org is required.
Leigh Kennicott, Ph.D. from California State University, Northridge describes her as "a teacher's teacher - caring, thoughtful and thorough. She has unimaginably enhanced my performance of Shakespearean texts." Actor Andrew Heffernan calls her "a magician. She makes you feel like wresting the meaning and passion from Shakespeare's words is a matter of life and death, and she gives you the technical and emotional tools to do it. Few people have the talent and experience to legitimately call themselves master teachers of Shakespeare Lisa is one of them."
Ms. Wolpe has received numerous awards, including the 2008 Margaret Harford Award for Sustained Excellence from the L.A. Drama Critics Circle and a 2014 Lee Melville Award for outstanding contribution to the Los Angeles theatre community from Playwrights Arena.
Her performance of 'Shakespeare and the Alchemy of Gender' takes place on the previous evening (October 25 at 7:00 pm) also at the Presidio Officers' Club, 50 Moraga Avenue San Francisco 94129. It may be attended free of charge by RSVP to sfshakes@sfshakes.org. The performance is appropriate for adults and older teens.
