RESEARCH

  

My research develops performance, teaching, directing, and accents by putting theories into practice. These narrative techniques and phenomenological and quasi-experimental research methods enhance performance, evaluation, and learner experiences.

Consent in Shakespeare: What Women Say in Shakespeare’s Mediterranean Comedies and Origin Stories (2021)

Consent in intimate relationships is central to the news cycle, social media, class, and conferences. What women say and don’t say in Shakespeare’s Mediterranean comedies and his Italian sources matter. Contemporary culture transformed so that women who experience harassment and/or sexual harassment are more likely to be heard and, possibly, believed. How does this cultural shift translate into modern understanding of Shakespeare and his Italian sources? Consent in Shakespeare: What Women Do (and Don’t) Say in Shakespeare’s Mediterranean Comedies and Origin Stories amplifies dormant and nascent voices of Shakespeare’s women to better understanding of mores and practices in Renaissance and Elizabethan societies by examining the impact of status and class on a woman’s consent. A sixteenth-century woman of higher status could share her feelings and influence her destiny. These Mediterranean comedies illuminate a woman’s right to choose her personal and professional destiny to shift societal norms in today’s global economy. forthcoming

Reframing Acting in the Digital Age: Nimbly Scaling Actor Training in the Academy refocuses how actors work in TV, film, and stage. In this refreshing text, Preeshl integrates original interviews with 25 theatre, film, TV, and digital media experts from leading international programs to create an essential contribution to actor training studies. These interviews cover diverse topics such as contemporary training methods, industry standards, and experiential learning, incorporating interdisciplinary recommendations from academics and professionals alike to navigate undergraduate actor training in the digital age. Digitally native undergraduates arrive at university being well versed in the digital and technological world, but as technologically savvy as these Millennials and Generation Z are, Preeshl and her interviewees show how acting and production degree programs can reframe these competencies to enable students to acquire and transfer digital skills. This phenomenological study bridges actor training methods across media to promote 'scaling' to update undergraduate actor training for the digital age. By applying the recommendations of these experts to curricular practices, universities may increase market share, diversity, and graduate employability. This in-depth field study is a vital read for acting teachers, students, professional actors, and scholars within theatre and film programs. Buy

Shakespeare and Commedia dell’Arte: Play by Play examines the ongoing influence of commedia dell’arte on Shakespeare’s plays. Exploring the influence of commedia dell’arte improvisation, sight gags, and wordplay on the development of Shakespeare’s plays, Artemis Preeshl blends historical research with extensive practical experience to demonstrate how these techniques might be applied when producing some of Shakespeare's best-known works today. Each chapter focuses on a specific play, from A Midsummer Night’s Dream to The Winter’s Tale, drawing out elements of commedia dell’arte style in the playscripts and in contemporary performance.

Including contemporary directors’ notes and interviews with actors and audience members alongside Elizabethan reviews, criticism, and commentary, Shakespeare and Commedia dell’Arte presents an invaluable resource for scholars and students of Renaissance theatre. Buy
