Shakespeare

Come explore the power and rhythm and energy that are in the heart of Shakespeare's language and plays ... In this class, everyone will memorize and work on both a soliloquy and a scene from Shakespeare's canon as a means of personally experiencing this master playwright. We will work together to identify and embody a "state of readiness" that is the prerequisite for the full exploration and enjoyment of this actor-ready text. We'll speak and de-construct and play and search. We will work with the balance between a naturalistic acting approach and Shakespeare's heightened words and situations. We will mingle with Shakespeare's words and people and hopefully come out with a deeper sense of our own language and humanity.
