This course aims to address translation problems in drama, such as issues of actability, non-verbal subtext, cultural and staging conventions.
The aim of these classes is not to prepare students for acting careers, but rather to transform them into insightful interpreters. This involves learning how to listen and communicate more effectively; how to become more relaxed, present and persuasive in public; and how to work with each other and support each other in a performative situation, through the study of techniques used by actors and directors in the theatre.
You should be at least an Upper-Intermediate level in English/Chinese
We will investigate what is involved in translating an effective playtext, what particular skills are required in dramatic translation and how translators might collaborate effectively with theatre professionals. We shall address the translator’s actual and potential degree of involvement in the rehearsal and performance process. Students will themselves study, rehearse and perform the material they develop.
