Instructor’s Bio: Rodrigo Beilfuss spent the last four years in Ontario with the Stratford Festival, and returned home to Winnipeg to be the new Artistic Director of Shakespeare in the Ruins (SIR). Born and raised in Brazil, Rodrigo moved to Winnipeg in 2001 as an exchange student, discovering Hamlet in high-school. Mr Gord McLeod is to be blamed for everything, for Rodrigo hasn’t stopped pursuing Shakespeare since. In Winnipeg, Rod was a founding member of Theatre by the River, and he has directed and acted in several productions at various local theatres. He holds a BA (Honours) from the University of Winnipeg, an MA in Classical Acting from England’s LAMDA, and he’s a graduate of Stratford’s two flagship programs: the Birmingham Conservatory for Classical Theatre and the Michael Langham Workshop for Classical Direction.

Shakespeare in Action in Schools
The current pandemic crisis has forced schools to move their classes online, and teachers have had to adapt quickly to this new, remote approach to education.
SIR would like to help!
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: thereby demystifying the language and offering students the power of discovery through fun exploration.
If you are a high school English or Drama educator currently teaching Shakespeare (anywhere in the world!), SIR would like to offer this workshop via a live-video platform to your students. Together, we can create an experience that is engaging and theatrical for your students, thereby ensuring that Shakespeare remains alive and fresh to young minds.
Please get in touch with Rodrigo at ad@sirmb.ca in order to set up a workshop.
Admission: $100 + GST
