Workshop with Shakespearean Actress Lisa Harrow
Open gallery
Thursday, September 10, from 3:30 to 5 p.m., in Bodine 300
Award-winning actress Lisa Harrow will offer a workshop on Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night (specifically, Act 1, scene 5). Harrow studied at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London, and in her first season with the Royal Shakespeare Company in 1969, played Olivia opposite Judi Dench’s Viola in Twelfth Night, directed by John Barton. Successive RSC roles include Portia in The Merchant of Venice opposite Patrick Stewart, Desdemona in Othello, and Anne Boleyn in Henry VIII. Scores of stage, film, and television roles have followed. Recently, Harrow co-founded the Sea Change Institute with her husband Roger Payne (famous for his discovery, with Scott McVay, of the songs of the Humpback whales), and has written an environmentalist handbook, What Can I Do?
The workshop will run about 90 minutes, and will include several of Lewis & Clark’s student actors. The workshop is co-sponsored by the Departments of English and Theater.
