Participants will learn some basic breathing and vocal mechanics before dissecting the language of the plays. Shakespeare wrote for actors, and there are many clues in his text that inform the actor of the meaning and execution of the language. These are skills that will help the actor in any speaking scenario, from acting to a job interview. Students will apply what they learn to specific scenes and soliloquies from the canon, and then perform what they've learned before friends and family at the end of the course.  <span fr-original-style="caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); letter-spacing: normal; font-size: 18px; color: rgb(41, 105, 176);" style="caret-color:rgb(34, 34, 34);letter-spacing:normal;font-size:18px;color:rgb(41, 105, 176)">WHEN<span fr-original-style="caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); letter-spacing: normal; font-size: 18px; color: rgb(26, 188, 156);" style="caret-color:rgb(34, 34, 34);letter-spacing:normal;font-size:18px;color:rgb(26, 188, 156)">: Tuesdays, April 23 ~ June 11, 2024 6:30-8:30 PM (the last two weekends of the workshop, we will also have longer weekend sessions to rehearse for the show.
