"With love’s light wings did I o'erperch these walls,

For stony limits cannot hold love out,

And what love can do, that dares love attempt.

Therefore thy kinsmen are no stop to me." (2.2.66-9)

Boys as Girls

Men as Females

Women were forbidden to be on stage

Young boys(13-19) played female roles in theatre plays

They were on specific diets and exercise

Voice coaches trained them to keep voice high pitched

Men as Females

Young male actors had to maintain a very small and thin body for the purpose of female curves(visual attraction)

After age of 20, young male actors had to quit and find new profession

Lasted from 1560 - 1661

COSTUMES: Play Enhancement

Actors wore very luxurious and colourful clothing that enhanced the number of audiences(latest fashion)

Costumes were easily recognized by colours, which also foreshadowed the portrayed character

Considerable time was taken in designing female costumes such as wigs and dresses(whalebone), to accurately fit male actors

The clothes worn by actors were proven to weigh more than their actual weight! (effort had to be increased!)

Another essential attire such as makeup, affected male actors severely

The Sumptuary Law was a crucial factor

that divided high class actors and low class

actors in terms of wearing specific clothing

Shakespeare's Involvement

In his earlier years, he used unemployed actors in his plays, therefore there were more poor quality costumes

In plays like Julia Caesar, clothing were relevantly easy to design(e.g.: Toga)

Later, William Shakespeare used expensive Roman and Greek clothing for his royalty plays(e.g.: Chemise)

His high class actors' clothing were made out of taffeta silk fabric

In Titus Andronicus, costumes were dipped in

Importance and Popularity of Costumes

In the early 40's costumes were heavily relied to attract audience due to lack of props & scenery

High class actors were allowed to wear top notch clothes such as broad collared shirts and collarless jackets(more audiences)

Queen Elizabeth I was in charge of introducing new styles of clothing to plays

If actor did not wear "good clothing" = assumption of low class

Edward Alleyn (1566 - 1626)
Robert Armin (1568 - 1615)
Christopher Beeston (1570 - 1638)

Traveling Companies

Traveling companies were groups of actors that would travel around and do their presentations rather than the audience going to see them

Traveling companies were also known as traveling troupes.

There was no theater in England until 1576

Since at the time there were many outbreaks of the Bubonic Plague the actors that travelers were looked at suspiciously

For a traveling company to be allowed to travel, they would first need a license. Some of the Elizabethan traveling companies were: Lord Stranger's Men, Chamberlain's Men, Admiral's Men and King's Men

For the traveling companies there were rules on what type of clothing that they could wear. The actors were not allowed to wear clothes above their social standings.

Music & Dance

Music was considered a effective enhancement to theatre plays(helped express emotions)

Reinforcement of music increased the number of audiences in theatre plays, thus allowed theatre plays reach new heights(e.g.: William Shakespeare)

Elizabethan dance varied according to the social class

Musical Instruments

Shakespeare's Macbeth

In this particular play, music was very crucial(hautboy instrument provided eerie atmosphere)

What if a horror movie of today went without music. It would be very confusing to comprehend!

Theatre Orchestra

The background music for plays were usually produced by regular musicians, vocally and instrumentally(choir like today)

Here is a popular song in one of Shakespeare's plays. You will actually see the chorus singers creating a chorus piece using the same words, the main singer put out.

Examples of Dances

The Pavane (slow couple dance)

The Volt(close to ballet dance)

The Galliard(easy to dance to, not hard)

The Almain (accompanied by lute/keyboard music, more distinct and favourable)

Rufty Tuffty and Strip the Willow (repetitive dance steps)

RUFFTY TUFFTY
This is an example of a dance, the lower class Elizabethan actors did on special occasions and in theatre plays. Keep track of how the music supports this kind of dance. Is it fast paced or soft and smooth? This demonstrates why music was very important to different dance and plays.
The Hunting Dance - Royalty Style
The hunting dance, was from a comedy play written by Shakespeare, called Love Labour's lost. Their dance will only have repetition of simple hand gestures, clapping and spinning. But most of all, poses. Dances like this were incorporated with the play script. For example, one of the lady will be posing with her bow & arrow(indication of "hunter")

If you look at their costumes, this was how the high class actors dressed. These clothing were extremely expensive back in the Elizabethan era. If you saw them dance, the men were establishing a message indicating that they were very strong, brave and wise. This dance was one of the most popular royal dances, because it did not have complicated dance steps. It involves the use of simple footsteps and poses.

Upper Class: Foreign Influenced(The Galliard)

Lower Class: Passed down from generations(The Jig and the Morris Dance)

Animal blood to emphasize death.

In last play, each costume were priced at $100 due to his popularity!

Quote #3God's bread! it makes me mad Day, night, hour, tide, time, work, play,
Alone, in company, still my care hath been To have her matched. And having now provided A gentleman of noble parentage,Of fair demesnes, youthful, and nobly lined,Stuffed, as they say, with honorable part Proportioned as one's thought would wish a man— And then to have a wretched puling fool,A whining Mamet, in her fortune's tender,To answer 'I'll not wed. I cannot love.I am too young. I pray you, pardon me.'But, as you will not wed, I'll pardon you Graze where you will you shall not house with me.Look to 't; think on 't. I do not use to jest.Thursday is near. Lay hand on heart, advise.An you be mine, I'll give you to my friend.And you be not, hang, beg, starve, die in the streets,For, by my soul, I'll ne'er acknowledge thee,Nor what is mine shall never do thee good.Trust to 't; bethink you. I'll not be forsworn.
