Spring 2025 Speak the Speech Workshop

Katonah Classic Stage, Inc.

Spring 2025 Speak the Speech Workshop

Speak the Speech is an intro to acting Shakespeare for High School and Middle School Students. 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. Additionally, a professional film will be made of their work at the conclusion of the 8 week workshop.

WHEN:

Wednesdays, April 2 - May 28, 2025
6:30-8:30 PM
(Possible rehearsal times on 5/10 and 5/17 to prepare the performance for stage and film. Times tbd)

WHERE:

Bedford Hills Community House (Activity Room)
