Shakespeare is arguably the most important writer in the English language. As a style, it can also be wildly fun to improvise. Learn to play in the genre, not at the genre! No previous Shakespeare experience necessary. In four weeks, we’ll cover physical and vocal choices, language, emotional content, major tropes of the genre, and even a little (fun, easy to digest) history. We'll also put those tools into action! Coached scene work focused on being true to the genre, making strong and appropriate narrative choices, while still being funny, dangerous, and sexy (with our characters, in a safe context.) We'll look at how to use Shakespeare in short-form games, as well as how to perform longform Shakespeare. (Minimum three levels of improv training with CSz or another established improv theatre.).
