For much of its life 'All's Well That Ends Well' was more or less ignored as being too ambiguous. Although there is much to like in the play it can still be considered one of Shakespeare's more challenging. #podcast #theatre #theatrehistory #Shakespeare

Is there a nice way to say that actors making charitable appearances get the credit for being charitable w/o having to actually part with any cash? (Writing about who benefits from benefits)

Shakespeare responded not with words, but with work. By 1594, he was a leading member of the Lord Chamberlain's Men. His early plays like 'Romeo and Juliet' captivated London. The crow was learning to soar. #ElizabethanEra #TheatreHistory

As a #TheatreHistory professor I am begging my students to learn the difference between a play and a playwright. How do college students not know this?

Journal of Interactive Technology and Pedagogy Issue 27 Minimalist Archival Pedagogy: New Engagement with Theatre Histories in the Undergraduate... by Cen Liu Manifold @CUNY This article explores what the author calls "minimalist archival pedagogy" as an approach to teaching theatre history. The piece examines two assignments which were designed and implemented in "Theatre History II, 1700-1900" at the City College of New York that position students as critical historians rather than passive consumers of canonical narratives. The first assignment engages students in archival research using digitized collections to create catalog entries, while the second asks them to construct imaginative theatre reviews that address gaps and absences in the historical record. Keywords: Minimalist digital humanities pedagogy, Archival pedagogy, Inquiry-based learning, Critical historiography

Back at it with more Issue 27 features as we gear up for our next theme issue. Always something exciting going on at JITP! In this article, our very own Cen Liu tackles minimal archival pedagogy in a Theatre History class at CUNY. #digitalhumanities #archives #theatrehistory #digitalpedagogy

• which of these quotes is the filthiest?
• is it obvious that the stilts represent an erection?

'Measure for Measure' offers no moral certainties as Shakespeare explores how legal codes & social norms could be tested in a tale of deceit & disguise. Not so much a 'problem' play but a very thoughtful one.Podcast episode out now! #Shakespeare #podcast #measureformeasure #theatre #theatrehistory
