Many people think that theatrical interpreting is reserved for the stage. This webinar shows how everyday can become a stage in educational interpreting. In the elementary setting we interpret songs for children, which is what we do on the stage at a concert or in a musical. Middle school kids have choir concerts and plays that must be interpreted. And last but not least, high school students have stories like Romeo and Juliet, A Raisin in the Sun, and Beowulf. All of these can be found in the theater as well. In this webinar the participants will learn to analyze scripts, paraphrase, and find meaning in texts that have a language of their own. In the end hopefully everyone will walk away with a greater understanding of how to bring the theatrical interpreting skills into their classroom interpreting.
Educational Objectives:
- Participants will be able to explain the role of an interpreter within a theatrical setting and possible pitfalls interpreters might experience.
- Participants will be able to identify various strategies to plan and prepare for classroom activities with theatrical aspects.
- Participants will be able to describe the challenges of interpreting in theatrical settings including ethical and placement issues.
