The Impact
This project deals with dating in the modern age, and all that it implies; dating apps, instagram filters, sliding into dm's. All of which are built on concepts that Shakespeare wrote about. Even though it's been hundreds of years we're all connected by these ideas of what 'love' is.
Risks & Challenges
Our challenge is to make sure that Shakespeare's language belongs in the modern day. To achieve this, we're focusing less on How he wrote, and more on What he was writing about. We're breaking the rhythm, playing with the context, and even adding some modern lines to show how the story transcends the text.
