DELIVERING SHAKESPEARE
The work in Discovering Presence and Voice moves into Delivering Shakespeare. This workshop is critical for any actor who wants to do Shakespeare but is equally critical for anyone who wants to extend their Presence and voice, to work at telling important stories and to deliver formal presentations. All these activities require deep knowledge of structure, form, language and image.
You will learn to speak Shakespeare, recognizing the enormous demands a great text requires on your voice, speech muscles, and presence. We will work on Shakespearean forms and learn how to be in the moment and trust the text, imaginatively connecting to every image and idea. You will extend your vocal ability and range; have greater control of Presence in your leadership; understand structure, pace and rhythm and the power of poetic language; hold and build arguments; use words and stories to change yourself and others.
Come prepared with a complete verse monologue of Shakespeare. Prepare a structured verse; know it by heart, or if not, then well worked.
