WORKSHOPPING SHAKESPEARE Acting course

Tuesdays 7.30-9.30pm, 15th Sept-10th Nov, Rehearsal Studio

8 week course £96 (No class on 27th Oct - half term) | for age 18+
Run by Susie Pottinger

Do you love Shakespeare? Or are you intimidated by the language?

Do you struggle to understand what's going on? Or does the language make your spirit fly?

Whoever you are; this course is for you. 

 

Susie has adapted many of Shakespeare's plays to retain the beauty of the language but make them manageable. She has studied, directed and acted in Shakespeare and is eager to share her joy with you. 

 

The Shakespeare workshops will get the words working and moving. 

 

Shakespeare had a group of actors waiting for his words, and crowds keen to watch. He didn't write them to be studied so we, like his actors, will take the words and unwrap how he guides us (in verse and meter and rhyme etc) as we go.

 

Starting small you can then dream big about what you'll share with a select audience at the end of the workshops.

 

Everyone is warmly welcomed to join the fun. 

To reserve your place please email us on lac@lanternarts.org and we will send you the details. Your place is not secured until you have paid the course fee and filled in the form with your details. Please note the course fee is non-refundable. If you genuinely can't afford to pay the fee please get in touch as we may be able to assist.
