SHAKESPEARE is full of funny, brilliant, witty and witless, wise, wise-cracking idiots -- FOOLS - Natural and Artificial.
In this weekend workshop Zack Fine and Andy Grotelueschen will break it open and break it down! Who are You? What's Funny about You? What's Funny about THEM?
Get it! Come on and Play! Discover yourself in front of an audience; find tolerance for the unknown; uncover the ferocious originality of your talent and learn how to share it. On top of all that, we will employ text games to help you find language in the moment of thought, speech on impulse, and crack your comic imagination.
Come unleash your ridiculous idiot and expose your gooey core of brilliant vulnerability by working on Shakespeares clowns.
