KLAAS ALBERTS ; singer and poet<\/h2>\n

Being a qualified garden designer, Klaas Alberts studies poetry from an artist’s point of view. Approaching a text as its author’s answer to the standard problems of composition, he never experienced the problems with interpretation that have been haunting Literature Studies ever since it went scientific.<\/p>\n

Being the translator of a Dutch chamber choir, his involvement with a text usualy starts with singing it in a four part setting. Which, of course, resulted in the original contents of this site. Contents whose basic\u00a0raison d’\u00e9tre<\/em>\u00a0is some kind of escapism from the fact that, as a singer, Klaas Alberts is more gifted with enthusiasm than with talent. A setback that also restricts his literary ambitions to writing light verse just for the fun of it. The experience, however, combines with his approach of a text as a piece of architecture to the ability to\u00a0reconstruct the creative process that forged this text.<\/p>\n

A first result of this method of analysis can be found on : http:\/\/willsdrawingboard.123website.nl<\/a><\/p>\n

‘Will’ is, of course, William Shakespeare, who died exactly 400 years ago. On his old drawing board you’ll find an evidence based reconstruction of his 1594 stage directions for\u00a0Romeo & Juliet.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
