View show details

In this episode, we talk with Catherine Weidner, actor, director, educator, and author of Acting Heightened Text: The Basics, about bringing heightened language to life onstage. Weidner’s book offers actors, directors, students, and teachers practical tools for working with verse and prose, from text analysis and playing actions to auditions, rehearsals, rhetorical arguments, and rhyming couplets. We explore how curiosity, rigor, and techniques like “hooking” can help performers make dynamic, textually supported choices and connect with heightened language in a truthful, contemporary way.
