Bard As Nails: Classical Acting Workshop

Bard As Nails workshops provide a fun, playful space for actors to practice working with classical texts. They are less of a class and more of a mini R&D, and are suitable for all levels of experience, whether you're new to the Bard or a seasoned veteran!

This month we will be working with scenes from "The Two Gentlemen of Verona" by William Shakespeare.

We'll start with a check-in, then do some exercises to get ourselves feeling familiar with the scenes. Then, we get the scene up on its feet and experiment with it as much as possible, trying out different playing spaces, contexts, and objectives to see what discoveries we can make. There's no pressure to sound clever or "get it right" - just two hours of bashing the scene out in the space and being silly with it!

The workshops are relaxed - you can pop out of the room whenever you need - and scripts are provided on the day. There is no expectation to be off book - just bring your creative energy and come ready to play!

We cap our workshops at 10 participants max, so that everyone gets plenty of stage time.
