Syracuse University Library Associates will present a lecture by Malcolm and
Elizabeth Ingram on Thursday, April 23, at 4 p.m. in the Peter Graham Scholarly
Commons of E.S. Bird Library.
In a presentation titled "Acting Shakespeare's Sonnets," the Ingrams, who both teach
voice and acting in SU's College of Visual and Performing Arts, will demonstrate
how Shakespeare, through language and structure, reveals the situation and
emotional state of his characters in the sonnets, providing the actor with the tools
necessary for a fully realized performance.
The Ingrams have worked on more than 50 productions of Shakespeare's plays in
Britain and the United States. Most recently, they presented This Powerful Rhyme, a
program of 20 Shakespearean sonnets with music by Andrew Waggoner, performed
by the Sequitur repertory company at Merkin Concert Hall in New York City, the
Eastman School of Music in Rochester, and the Redhouse Arts Center in Syracuse.
The lecture is free and open to the public. Free event parking is available in the Booth
Garage, one block from Bird Library on the corner of Waverly and Comstock
avenues.
