By examining how female characters speak and act during coming of
age, engagement, marriage, and intimacy, Consent in Shakespeare
will enhance understanding about how and why women spoke, remained
silent, or acted as they did in relation to their intimate partners
in Early Modern and contemporary private and public situations in
and around the Mediterranean. Consent in intimate relationships is
front and center in today's conversations. This book re-examines
the verbal and physical interactions of female-identified
characters in Early Modern and contemporary cultures in
Shakespeare's Mediterranean comedies and the sources from which he
derived his plays. This re-examination of the words that women say
or do not say, and actions that women do or do not take, in
Shakespeare's Mediterranean plays and his probable sources sheds
light on how Shakespeare's audiences might have perceived
Mediterranean cultural mores and norms. Assessment of source
materials for Shakespeare's comedies set in the Balkans, France,
Italy, the Near East, North Africa, and Spain suggests how women of
diverse backgrounds communicated in everyday life and peak life
experiences in the Early Modern era. Given Shakespeare's impact
worldwide, this initiative to shift the conversation about the
power of consent of female protagonists and supporting characters
in Shakespeare's Mediterranean plays will further transform
conversations about consent in class, board and conference rooms,
and the international stage.
Shakespeare and Commedia dell'Arte examines the ongoing influence
of commedia dell'arte on Shakespeare's plays. Exploring the
influence of commedia dell'arte improvisation, sight gags, and
wordplay on the development of Shakespeare's plays, Artemis Preeshl
blends historical research with extensive practical experience to
demonstrate how these techniques might be applied when producing
some of Shakespeare's best-known works today. Each chapter focuses
on a specific play, from A Midsummer Night's Dream to The Winter's
Tale, drawing out elements of commedia dell'arte style in the
playscripts and in contemporary performance. Including contemporary
directors' notes and interviews with actors and audience members
alongside Elizabethan reviews, criticism, and commentary,
Shakespeare and Commedia dell'Arte presents an invaluable resource
for scholars and students of Renaissance theatre.

Reframing Acting in the Digital Age: Nimbly Scaling Actor Training
in the Academy refocuses how actors work in TV, film, and stage. In
this refreshing text, Preeshl integrates original interviews with
25 theatre, film, TV, and digital media experts from leading
international programs to create an essential contribution to actor
training studies. These interviews cover diverse topics such as
contemporary training methods, industry standards, and experiential
learning, incorporating interdisciplinary recommendations from
academics and professionals alike to navigate undergraduate actor
training in the digital age. Digitally native undergraduates arrive
at university being well versed in the digital and technological
world, but as technologically savvy as these Millenials and
Generation Z are, Preeshl and her interviewees show how acting and
production degree programs can reframe these competencies to enable
students to acquire and transfer digital skills. This
phenomenological study bridges actor training methods across media
to promote 'scaling' to update undergraduate actor training for the
digital age. By applying the recommendations of these experts to
curricular practices, universities may increase market share,
diversity, and graduate employability. This in-depth field study is
a vital read for acting teachers, students, professional actors,
and scholars within theatre and film programs.
