| Just do what it says on the page! | We learn how to work through scripts - as an actor - work on your character or As a Director - your vision for the piece. | 2 hours + |
| Shakin' Shakespeare! | Think you can do better than the Bard? Well now's your chance!We work with the stories of Shakespeare but devise around the themes - maybe giving the plays a makeover - but at all times '..the play's the thing'! | 1/2 day + |
| Seriously Amazing Shakespeare! | Willy didn't write the plays so you could sit in a clasroom, behind your desk being bored silly by them...he wrote his plays for people to act and for an audience (from the 'groundlings'...the poor people on the floor of the theatre, to the Richest of the Rich..the Queen!). So we look at the scripts that Shakespeare wrote and have a play around with how we take the characters and the action from the page to the stage! | 1/2 day + |
