Shakespeare and Improv
An Introduction to Shakespeare's Text, Acting & Theater
Mark Lang & Allison J. Murphy
| The Instructors |
The instructors, Mark Edward Lang and Alison J. Murphy, are professional actors and teachers who have worked extensively with the East Lynne Theater Company in Cape May, as well as with theaters in New York and across the country. They bring their broad-based practical skills learned from years of studying and performing Shakespeare and Improvisation to this dynamic and unique workshop. This unusual course incorporates material developed by Viola Spolin (the inventor of Theater Games) along with techniques used by the Royal Shakespeare Company and other theater groups to train their performers. The best actors, and perhaps the most successful people in life, have a combination of confidence, discipline and spontaneity that this course seeks to encourage and develop. |
June 23, June30, and July 7 - 6:30-8:30pm, Library
The PLAY SHAKESPEARE "Shakespeare and Improv" Workshop is an active, fun and exciting way to explore both disciplines. Explore Shakespeare and Acting/ Improvisation, then blend both through readings, discussion and scene work. Working together as an ensemble, you will develop trust and self-confidence, and experience the power of improvisational theater games - a tool used by both professional actors and corporate executives to develop communication, creativity and leadership skills.
Please come dressed comfortably to move. Class size limited; please call to reserve a space. This is one of a series of three Tuesday evening workshops. You are encouraged to attend all three if possible.
