“Words, words, words” Hamlet 2, ii Sometimes people think that Shakespeare is just a pile of words. This fun and interactive workshop with Shakespeare theatre director Danielle Irvine will give participants the tools to approach any Shakespeare text and mine it for understanding. Beginning with a monologue provided by the instructor and working with written and performance tools, participants will develop a step-by-step process to lift the words off the page and develop an appreciation for the language. Instruction will be given both individually, and in group exercises.
For: Actors, theatre and English teachers, directors, and anyone with a love for the Bard. Recommended for ages 18+. Maximum 12 participants. Participants will be required to bring pencil, eraser and thesaurus and to dress comfortably for movement work. Sensible shoes are a must!
