directed by Genevieve Moran

My approach to directing Hamlet would centre around these three energies- the intellect (head), emotion (heart), and physicality (the entire body). I would ask the actors to consider which of these energies their character is predominantly operating from, or whether they oscillate, and what effect this has on their character’s journey. I would work with the actors on embodiment methods and techniques, in order to facilitate an exploration and portrayal of each character’s relationship to their physical body.
