DESCRIPTION

Shakespeare Scene Study: Text into Action

This six-week Shakespeare scene study class offers a physical, active approach to working the text. Actors will engage in detailed scene work supported by exercises designed to build spontaneity, freedom, and a strong connection between action and language. Classes include guided warm-ups and exercises drawn from Alexander Technique, Lecoq-based physical work, embodied structure of the verse, and presence practices. Attention will be given to personal connection and clarity of thought through individual coaching.

All scenes will be drawn from two Shakespeare plays, allowing actors to deepen character work and understanding of given circumstances over time.

Open to all levels, with some prior experience in Shakespeare recommended.
