1
2001 was a year of beginnings for me.
2
In the winter of 2001 I had seen a Salvage Vanguard Theatre production of Mack Wellman's Terminal Hip.
3
And this was eye-opening to me in terms of what theatre could be.
4
Up until that point I felt like my experience with theatre had been very much the classics and traditional.
5
And I think what most people who don't do theater think of theater, that's what I knew.
6
So I decided to seek out an internship with Salvage Vanguard because they had inspired me.
7
Also, that spring I had just had a baby.
8
And there's something about that moment that just sticks with me still in terms of this new baby, new life.
9
And then this new career which was also about new plays.
10
And the exciting thing about new works to me is how different stories can be told
11
and how we can continue to push the envelope.
12
And that's something that really continues to invigorate me is what's next?
13
What is the next step in American theater?
14
What's the next way that we engage with our audiences and tell stories?
15
The theater world has to continue to evolve with the rest of the world.
16
And so how we play with that is by bringing these new works to the stage,
17
by playing with new ways to engage new audiences.
18
I am Jenny Larson and I am theater.

Over deze les

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?

Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
