Public Speaking

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.
