It was so awesome!
Woopa woopa, this is what’s going on on Saturday at Debaser

This is how we do it in Sweden!
A Shakespeare sonnet, the harmony of a play. It’s magical how so few words can make you feel and see.
That you were once unkind befriends me now,
And for the sorrow which I then did feel
Needs must I under my transgression bow,
Unless my nerves were brass or hammered steel.
For if you were by my unkindness shaken,
As I by yours, y’have passed a hell of time,
And I, a tyrant, have no leisure taken
To weigh how once I suffered in your crime.
O that our night of woe might have rememb’red
My deepest sense, how hard true sorrow hits,
And soon to you, as you to me then, tend’red
The humble salve which wounded bosoms fits!
But that your trespass now becomes a fee;
Mine ransoms yours, and yours must ransom me.
So we are now working with Shakespeare in school, which is classic. Which acting school does not? We have a course now that is called Monologue technique, which until now have been based on cold reading and being where you are in your text. When you say something, do you say it because your emotion drives you to it or do you say something and act from what you say? I can’t really explain it better than the master himself; so enjoy!
