Weekend Workshop: Finding truth in acting Shakespeare

Presented by Ohio Shakespeare Festival at Ohio Shakespeare Festival, Greystone Hall, Akron OH

Mar 04 - 05 2017
Weekend Workshop: Finding truth in acting Shakespeare

This two day workshop will help actors demystify Shakespeare’s text using much of the John Barton approach to verse, vowels, consonants, and playable actions.

Our talented company members and educators want to share their skills and expertise with the community.  These fun and intensive programs are masterclasses in some of the most exciting elements of theatre. Classes are suitable for all skill levels! 

Finding truth in acting Shakespeare
March 4 & 5
12:00-3:00 BOTH DAYS

An acting class meant to prepare actors for future auditions and work in the classics. Join OSF actor-educator Geoff Knox for a two day workshop focusing on classical acting techniques. Participants will shake-off their “Shakespeare voice” and find out how to express classical text with honesty and immediacy. If you’ve ever struggled to connect with a Shakespeare monologue, this class is for you. Recommended ages 14+.
