Six-week improvised Shakespeare Course
What is it?
Six weeks guiding you through the basis of improvising in the style of William Shakespeare, led by one of the UK's most experienced improvised Shakespeare directors. Using iambic pentameter, rich imagery, situations and characters based on Shakespearian plays, improvising this way emphasises the day when something happens, making it dramatic and grand, while still remaining playful and irreverent. Tuesday evenings 7-10 starting the 4th March at the Nursery, Southwark.
What will I get out of it?
You will learn to expand your linguistic playfulness and emotional range. this course will push you into improvising characters who are experiencing great emotions in the face of life and death situations.
Even if you do not continue to perform improvised Shakespeare after the course finishes, you will find that these skills are transferable to your other improvisation. Your choices will be stronger and clearer, your language more rich and interesting, all without feeling heady and intellectual.
Who is it for?
This course is designed for those with some experience of improvisation, though a few drop in classes can be enough if you don't mind being thrown in at the deep end! We will be attacking some challenging improvisation exercises, but with a sense of fun and play, and always within a safe, supportive environment.
Who is teaching it?
Jules Munns. Founder of the Nursery and Slapdash International, London's oldest festival of improvisation, Jules directed and performed with Impromptu Shakespeare at the Edinburgh Fringe 2013. He is a member of the Maydays ('The UK's vanguard of Long-form improvisation' Jason Chin, iO) and one half of Ten Thousand Million Love Stories.
How much is it?
120 pounds.
