Shakespeare doesn’t have to be distant or confusing, in this workshop his words come alive. The three day intensive is facilitated by Dr. Daniel Widdowson, award winning actor/writer and former fight choreographer with the Australian Shakespeare Company. He guides teen and adult performers through the craft of acting Shakespeare with clarity and energy.
Participants will work on monologues and duologues, the same material used in professional auditions, while also learning the art of stage combat. They will learn how to make fights look powerful and exciting without ever losing safety. Along the way, students will build confidence, skill set, and an understanding of why Shakespeare’s stories still connect today.
This is a workshop for people who want to perform with skill, explore Shakespeare’s characters, and experience the thrill of theatre done well.
