SHAKESPEARE VERSE and TEXT WORKSHOP

Taught by Melania Levitsky

Shakespeare's text is full of clues! 

Structure

Word choice

Spelling

Meter

Punctuation

During this 5 day workshop we will explore how those clues can illuminate Shakespeare's seemingly arcane language, and reveal meaning, sense, rhythm, pace and character.

We will work with the text of As You Like It.

Warms ups will include Chekhov technique, Spacial Dynamic exercises and improvisation games.

Please come familiar with the text of As You Like it.

The class is open to everyone.
