SHAKESPEARE IN ACTION

Artistic Director, Rodrigo Beilfuss, with Shakespeare in Action participants.

Shakespeare in Action is a one-hour workshop designed to give students the chance to participate in basic techniques and exercises used by professional actors when tackling a scene from Shakespeare. By arming them with the tools to demystify the language, students experience the visceral thrill of discovery that comes with overcoming the Bard’s difficult text.

Classes start at $200 for a 1 hour session with 30 students.

Workshop length and subject matter can be negotiated depending on the needs of each class.

For more information on how to book a tailor-made workshop for your group call 204-957-1753 or email our Artistic Director, Rodrigo Beilfuss ad@sirmb.ca.
