    チラシ入り詳細ページはこちら

    　さて、三輪えり花、このたび玉川大学出版部より『シェイクスピアの演技術』という書籍を出版させていただきました。

    その出版記念特別企画として、シェイクスピアに触れてみたい、知的好奇心と遊び心の豊かなあなた様１名を出版記念祝賀会および遊び語り公演にご招待いたします。ぜひ万障お繰り合わせの上、ウキウキとお越しください。

    　新刊『シェイクスピアの演技術』は、私、三輪えり花が2009年からライフワークとしている【シェイクスピア遊び語り】（少人数の俳優によるトーク＆リーディングライブショー）をご覧になった玉川大学出版部のかたに勧められて生まれたものです。時代背景や見どころ、舞台装置の使い方やシェイクスピア特有の癖、原文と翻訳の面白さを語りながら、シェイクスピアのせりふを喋ってみたい人のための実践本として書きました。我ながら満足のいく仕上がりです！　

    　その【シェイクスピア遊び語り】も皆様のご愛顧のおかげで10周年、第15弾を迎えます。おまけに今回は記念すべき新刊発行。出版祝賀パーティーを開き、引き続いて【シェイクスピア遊び語り第15弾：今あなたに知ってほしいシェイクスピア】をお届けいたします。

    　祝賀会

    90分ほどの立食パーティーです。出版社からのご挨拶や、書籍のご紹介、三輪えり花からのお礼のご挨拶ほか、内緒の余興も考えております。

    　遊び語り公演

    新刊『シェイクスピアの演技術』に載っている『ハムレット』や『夏の夜の夢』『ロミオゥとジュリエット』など11作品から名場面とその楽しみ方をトーク＆リーディングライブショーでご紹介します。が、なんといっても目玉は、「一緒に演ってみよう！」コーナー。何しろ新刊『シェイクスピアの演技術』は、シェイクスピアを演じたい人のための本。シェイクスピアの本場イギリスの俳優たちが重ねてきたエクササイズを、会場の皆さんと実際にやってみながら「おお、なるほど、演技ができる、その気持ちになれる！」を発見できるのです。

    　共演

    共演は、昨年河合祥一郎演出の『お気に召すまま』にも出演し、名実ともにシェイクスピア俳優となったLutherヒロシ市村、シェイクスピアなど舞台音楽の専門家後藤浩明です。シェイクスピア出版記念の祝祭にふさわしい、華やかなルーテル市ヶ谷ホールで三輪えり花と一緒にシェイクスピアを楽しみましょう！

    詳細はこちら

    　メールアドレスをいただいている方には、リハーサルの模様の動画など、最新情報を掲載するメールマガジンをお届けする予定です。

    　お目にかかれますことをお祈りしております。

    Research trip to Hiroshima, for I have appointed to perform the river Ota of Hiroshima (which was atomic bombed and boiled at the instant but revived after several years), in a play called Moi, Ota, le Riviere d’Hiroshima, written by Jean Paul Allegre.
    It is a wonder to see how human beings can be so cruel and at the same time so strong to live against evil. Hail to our soul.

    Magic Flute

    Directing,set and costume designing, and wow performing (the third knabe) of The Magic Flute, music composed by W.A. Mozart.
    This is my first ever opera stage since I started to practice Italian classical singing nine years ago.
    The production was supported by East Kofu High School, in Yamanashi Prefecture, for their high art festival.
    The program was made of two sections. The first part I made as “How to Cook Delicious Opera”, an introduction for opera and let the opera singers sang their favorite songs, accompanying Luther Hiroshi Ichimura and my navigating opera making process.
    2000 students, parents, and teachers attended. Their response afterwards are sosososososo great! I am very happy to made some contribution to both opera-world and to the life of each audience member. Exciting!

    Translating, adaptation into musical script writing, directing, set and costume design, and performing (Portia), for a musical version of The Merchant of Venice, by W. Shakespeare.
    The production was produced by Yamanashi Central Bank Kofu Division’s 40th anniversary event. The outcome from the audience was great and encouraging.
    It was my pleasure to utter those wonderful words of Portia and convey the idea of beautiful equality of human beings. I am blessed if the production contributed to anybody enjoying the moment and gaining the positive happy power to go on.

    Moi, Ota, le Riviere d’Hiroshima

    Performing the river Ota of Hiroshima. The play is written by a great contemporary French writer M. Jean Paul Allegre. Translated into Japanese and directed by Mme. Masako Okada.
    The production has been staged several times already in Japan. In fact, Masako Okada’s production was the world premiere in 2016. The actress who performed Ota since then retired by a private happy reason, and I was appointed by Masako Okada with a telephone call.
    This was my first acting experience on a professional stage full production, directed by other than myself. It has been one of the most wonderful time in my life. Acting! Such a bliss!
    I acted the river Ota. I acted the violently ri_pped-off souls of Hiroshima. I acted the power of life against all evil. The production moved so many audience. Then each one will pass the word of peace to his/her friends and family, and they will pass the word of peace, too. My pleasure will be there.

    Shakespeare and Music

    Had a wonderful talk show with one of the best composers in Japan Mr Shinichiro Ikebe. The show was held in Kanazawa prefecture, Japan, where great tradition still remains.
    Shakespeare can be combined with anything. Mr Shinichiro Ikebe is a great lover of theatre, and he made thousands of music for plays in Japan. more than 10 years ago, he works with me and since then we are really good friends. His talk on Shakespeare is so much fun. I really enjoyed being with him. another contribution for the art for its sake and for the audience’s richer life.
