DTC Welcomes Paul Wagar to Translation Workshop

On December 3rd, Diversifying the Classics was delighted to welcome the acting professor and voice coach Paul Wagar to speak to the translation workshop. Paul worked with the actors in TFT’s extraordinary production of The Courage to Right a Woman’s Wrongs by Ana Caro, directed by Michael Hackett. Paul shared invaluable insights about how actors receive translations of Hispanic classical theater and how DTC’s translations can be best adapted to the stage. Paul taught the workshop how details such as punctuation, line breaks, and sounds affect the way actors perform our texts, helping us make informed decisions in our scripts that will allow our translations to shine in the mouths of actors.
