The Shakespeare Workout is back!
Actors' Shakespeare Project is doing a fast-and-furious Shakespeare Workout in April and May:
Take a breath and dive into some of the most beautiful, challenging, riveting, robust and moving language in the world. What does it take to perform Shakespeare?
Come work out the Bard with two of ASP's Founding Company Actors, Jennie Israel and Paula Plum. Delve into the text with your voice, body and breath through an intensive 6-session scene study. Explore one scene with an assigned scene partner (or sign up with your partner!) and approach it in a myriad of ways. You will learn how to use scansion, poetic devices and line endings effectively in your acting. You will receive voice and text coaching, rehearse scenes and increase your facility with Shakespeare. There will be a small showing of scenes for the final class.
Call or email Abby (617-776-2200 X 225) for information or to enroll.I will so be there. Will you? (Here is an interview I did with Michael Anderson, an attorney who has taken the class several times.)
What Shakespeare character have you always secretly wanted to play? I'll confess to a cliched yen to play Kate in "Taming of the Shrew." Also, Lady M., Cassius, Jacques, Beatrice. I like outsiders, instigators, comedians, wives. Shakespeare wrote these types well.
