Scenes from an Acting Class

Over the course of our program, some of the greatest playwrights in the history of Irish theatre have come to life through the bodies of our students in Lura Dolas' "Applied Acting Techniques" class.  Some shots from class, and more to come on students' experiences with Lura in their pursuit of ruthless objectives together.

Check out the "Shakespearean Performance in Ireland: 1660-1904" database organized by Patrick Lonergan (National University of Ireland, Galway).  Shakespeare has a place in Irish theatre history as well!
