Shakespeare Acting Class

Directed by Sean Runnette and Sarah Henley | 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! 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 from 11am to 2pm-ish.
