Shakespeare monologue & audition workshop

Shakespeare monologue & audition workshop with Claire Pearson

It's that time of year again- when acting schools and theatre companies require general auditions, usually requiring at least one Shakespeare monologue.

Need to practice? Don't feel as confident as you would like with 'The Bard' ? Want a day working on your craft? Then please come along.

The workshop will include a full voice & body warm up, knowledge about Shakespeare and his time, verse & prose analysis, line ending/shared lines analysis, sililoquies and their purpose and exercises and tools to apply and help create meaning while personalising the text.
