Presented in cooperation with the Prague Playhouse and led by Guy Roberts, Artistic Director of the Prague Shakespeare Festival and director of the PSF productions of King Lear and As You Like It, this is a performance focused workshop exploring the unique demands of taking the next step in Shakespearean character creation–out of the classroom, into the rehearsal hall and onto the performance stage.
Shakespeare’s characters express themselves moment to moment through language, not action, to convey thought. The workshop will explore the link between the structure of the language and the thought the structure expresses as the principal means of characterization. Once the actor fully understands and commands the tools of Shakespeare’s language the possibilities are limitless. The aim is to empower actors to make Shakespeare’s language roll “trippingly” from their tongues.
Space in the workshop is limited. The workshop will be in English although care will be taken to ensure that non-native English speakers are welcome as well.
