Workshop Description:

Many people think that theatrical interpreting is reserved for the stage. This workshop shows how everyday can become a stage in educational interpreting. In the elementary setting we interpret songs for children, which is what we do on the stage at a concert or in a musical. Middle school kids have choir concerts and plays that must be interpreted. And last but not least, high school students have stories like Romeo and Juliet, A Raisin in the Sun, and Beowulf. All of these can be found in the theater as well. In this workshop the participants will learn to analyze scripts, paraphrase, and find meaning in texts that have a language of their own. This is a hands-on workshop that allows practice and collaboration with other interpreters. In the end hopefully, everyone will walk away with a greater understanding of how to bring the theatrical interpreting skills into their classroom interpreting.
