Shakespeare Acting Workshops 

​

Your chance to act Shakespeare with people who love it!​

About
Workshop
Twelfth%20Night_edited.jpg

Learn how to develop a fully rounded Shakespearean character, and recognise the clues that Shakespeare left for you in his text. We'll focus on connecting with the characters in a natural and organic way that lets you perform with honesty, integrity and truth.  You choose what you want to work on each week, so we're able to delve into the acting technique, historical context and emotional undercurrents of the Shakespeare roles you most want to explore.

What can you expect?

The focus of this class is to perform Shakespeare's plays and sonnets on our feet, without treating it like a formal or an academic exercise.  You'll learn how to make Shakespeare come to life -  and enjoy the thrill of performing his best works!

In this masterclass, you'll always be working directly with the teacher and the group, getting individual feedback based on your performance, your questions and your comfort level.

You'll learn how to make decisions about the characters emotions, how to deal with Shakespeare's heightened and poetic language, and how to use your body and your voice on stage. I'll help you discover your unique perspective within each character, and address the challenges that are specific to each scene.  

​

You're invited to bring whichever scenes and sonnets most interest you, whether it's Hamlet or Juliet, Caesar or Cassio.  Our casting is unlimited by gender, age or type  - every part is up for grabs.  Of course, you're also encouraged to collaborate with the other actors in the class! 

​

There is no age limitation to this course, but be advised that adult themes will be explored. We are after all, dealing with Shakespeare's greatest works!  The course will be taught in English.

5-Star-Rating-And-Review-On-Google-My-Bu
Vienna Shakespeare Performance Workshops in English

"Catrina Poor is a wonderful and passionate teacher, whether it's her acting, speech or Shakespeare classes.

She helped me navigate through complex plays and characters with her knowledge, wit and flexibility. Always supportive and looking for what would benefit me the most and make me grow as an actor, in a warm and welcoming environment.

 

She definitely is my number 1 recommendation for actors who want to expand their acting skills. No matter if you are a beginner or a full-time pro.

A true treasure for the Viennese acting community!"
