ince 2006, Professor Bill
Kincaid, head of the acting
department, has been
collaborating with graduate students
to produce the student-run project
Bard in the Barn. This special
performance, held in an outdoor
setting, showcases “unrehearsed
Shakespeare” performance techniques
that attempt to recreate what it may
have been like for Elizabethan audiences and
actors to experience the work of Shakespeare and
his contemporaries. The experience relies on a
new understanding of the relationship between
actors and audience and a deep appreciation of
the clues hidden in an acting text, which allow
the plays to be performed without rehearsal.
Bard in the Barn is a collaborative effort between
students, alumni and faculty.
hile Professor T.K.
Vinod works to
develop “green”
oxidizing agents in an effort
to produce “eco-friendly”
chemical processes, he
represents the outstanding
faculty at WIU who
exemplify WIU’s core values
of academic excellence,
educational opportunity, personal growth
and social responsibility. Graduate
students gain an invaluable learning
experience by working in the lab with
Professor Vinod, whose research has
led to the development of a new reagent
that significantly reduces the amount of
chemical waste associated with oxidation
reaction.
