Shakespeare with Amy Thone (Seattle Session with Freehold Theatre)

Shakespeare Come explore the power and rhythm and energy that are in the heart of Shakespeare's language and plays ... In this class, everyone will memorize and work on both a soliloquy and a scene from Shakespeare's canon as a means of personally experiencing this master playwright. We will work together to identify and embody a "state of readiness" that is the prerequisite for the full exploration and enjoyment of this actor-ready text. We'll speak and de-construct and play and search. We will work with the balance between a naturalistic acting approach and Shakespeare's heightened words and situations. We will mingle with Shakespeare's words and people and hopefully come out with a deeper sense of our own language and humanity. September 26 - December 12 Saturdays 1:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m. $440 (Tier I); $490 (Tier II) Tier is based on household income.
