Shakespeare Acting Class!

|
Shakespeare Curious?
Ever wondered
what the fuss is all about?
|
|
Wish you sounded British?
You've done some
Shakespeare, but it sounds weird without a British accent.
Take heart! We won
that other war, we can win this one!

Iambic Pentameter
is your friend!
Iambic Pentameter is like
cod-liver oil: you know it's good for you, but you'd rather not, thanks
for asking. After this class you may still dislike cod-liver
oil, but iambic Pentameter? Maybe not so bad after all.
|
|
|
The goal of this 6-week course is to help you become
more comfortable with Shakespeare, letting the meter guide you
to clear storytelling, spontaneity and real human behavior.
|
|
We'll be using our upcoming production of Pericles
(to be directed by Sarah Henley) as a starting point, working with
scenes from this happily bonkers play. Students will be paired based on
time commitments and goals.
|
|
|
This is a process class - you'll be under no pressure
to be off book or performance-ready. (Mind you, if being ready to open
on week six is part of your process, go for it!)
|
|
|
Class size will be
limited to sixteen brave souls
7th
of September to the 12th of October
Every Saturday at CTG 11am
to 2pm-ish
It's free :)
