Brave New Shakespeare 2.0

 

This fall, the Public Shakespeare Initiative is proud to have the extraordinary artists Danaya Esperanza and Alexandria Wailes as Guest Curators for all of our Brave New Shakespeare releases, In the coming weeks and months, they will also be engaging young people to create their own videos, which will be featured here.

For this week’s release, Guest Curator Alexandria has enlisted the talents of a group of Deaf and hearing actors in a breathtaking and innovative suite of videos, bringing Shakespeare’s words and images to new and vivid life.

We hope you'll be inspired to create your own in whatever way you want -- post it on social media and add #bravenewshakespeare so we can find you!

Enjoy!

Artistic Statement from Guest Curator Alexandria Wailes.



A NOTE ON THIS WEEK’S ALL’S WELL THAT ENDS WELL MONTAGE

Each speaking actor has been assigned to follow the ASL of a specific signing actor. To amplify the complexities of life and the passage’s beautifully interwoven language, I wanted to explore the textures – visually and aurally – affording a communal sense of the text.

FIRST LORD 
The web of our life is of a mingled yarn, good and ill together. Our virtues would be proud if our faults whipped them not, and our crimes would despair if they were not cherished by our virtues
