About the session & model
The poses in this session are inspired by Shakespearean tragedies. Each set of poses is inspired by the following tragedies, with quotes:
5 x 1 min poses: Richard III
Now is the winter of our discontent
Made glorious summer by this sun of York.
A horse! a horse! my kingdom for a horse!
Thou cam'st on earth to make the earth my hell.
I am not in the giving vein to-day.
Grim-visaged War hath smoothed his wrinkled front.
5 x 3 min poses: Julius Caesar (3) & Othello (2)
Julius Caesar
O conspiracy,
Sham'st thou to show thy dangerous brow by night,
When evils are most free?
(Brutus, Act 2, Scene 1)
Othello
O, beware, my lord, of jealousy!
It is the green-eyed monster, which doth mock
The meat it feeds on.
(Iago, Act 3, Scene 3)
2 x 10 min poses: Titus Andronicus
Vengeance is in my heart, death in my hand,
Blood and revenge are hammering in my head.
(Aaron, Act 2, Scene 3)
1 x 30 poses: Timon of Athens
'Here lies a wretched corpse, of wretched soul bereft;
Seek not my name. A plague consume you wicked caitiffs left!
Here lie I, Timon, who alive all living men did hate.
Pass by and curse thy fill, but pass, and stay not here thy gait.'
(Alcibiades, Act 5, Scene 4)
