What We Offer
Shakespeare Intensive
date:
TBA (soon)
6 spots left
Intermediate & Advanced Level
In this workshop, you will be working on a monologue of your own choice and a dialogue. How do you make Shakespeare’s words sound like your own? How do you pull the audience in with your acting, get them at the edge of their seat? How do you engage with your fellow actor in a way that fills the room with energy and anticipation? In this Shakespeare intensive workshop we will be taking on these themes. We will be working with imagery, finding the character and the action in the words. We'll also focus on letting your character achieve his or her goals. Previous experience with Shakespeare and verse work is required.
Participants: 6 actors max.
Time: 10:00 - 17:00 (two days)

Entry & Intermediate Level
In this workshop we will be working on a dialogue as well as some improvisational exercises. Acting is about reacting in the moment, staying connected to what you’re saying and who you are speaking to and what you want from that person. In theory.. easy and simple, in reality.. a lottle more difficult to accomplish. As soon as we get up in front of people part of our brain tenses up. You want to do your best, you might push your voice and try to make your words sound as interesting and engaged as possible. Maybe you rack your brain to think of good position to move your body into so it will look natural. And while you are trying so hard, you move away from letting your character react to the scene, to the here and now. Join us for our acting workshops to find freedom and fun into your performance.
Participants: 10 max.
Time: 10:00 - 17:00
