{"product_id":"shakespeare-and-the-dance-von-lisa-carter","title":"Shakespeare and the Dance","description":"\u003cp\u003eShakespeare''s plays are to be seen all over the  world in any major repertory company. While much  has been written on every aspect of the staging of  his plays by Shakespearean scholars, actors and  directors, the dancing has over time become less  and less important almost to the point of  obsolescence. While this trend is certainly not  acceptable to me (and probably would not be to Mr.  Shakespeare either were he alive today), directors  when asked about the reason for there being no  dance in the play lamely point to a lack of clear  guidance from Shakespeare in his scripts as well as  to rehearsal time constraints to teach the required period dances. My thesis will endeavor to show that a lack of  dance in Shakespeare''s plays is not only  historically incorrect but also robs the modern day audience of the full spectacle of the occasion that  defined that historical period. There are many  resources available to directors should they be willing to commit to a wholly accurate reading of  the play because a Shakespearean drama without the  dance is, to my mind, hardly Shakespeare at all.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783844331141\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDance in Shakespeare''s Plays\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783844331141","offer_id":39495927103581,"sku":"9783844331141","price":49.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/9a306c4f-5b3f-4436-b7f4-88c8b9ee4389.jpg?v=1776320575","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/en\/products\/shakespeare-and-the-dance-von-lisa-carter","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
