improvising Shakespeare

In this Level 2 weekend workshop, you'll spend two days improvising in the style of Shakespeare's plays. Shakespeare was a genius, so whilst we probably can't quite reach his level of playwriting in 48 hours, we CAN learn a huge amount to inspire and develop our improvised theatre and comedy performances.

Over two days, you'll immerse yourself in Shakespearean language, stories, types of characters, and explore the Elizabethan World to create your own versions of scenes and sketches in the style of Shakespeare's plays.

What can I expect?
- What did Shakespeare ever do for us?
Soliloquy, monologues, entrances, chorus, set-description, deaths, narration, verse, etc.
- Simile and metaphor to make your language more poetic and descriptive (inc. making up words).
- What is Iambic pentameter? Why it's not scary (and why we won't use it much anyway).
- Playing Status
- Improvising as Elizabethans (in their world).
- Exploring Shakespeare's stories (comedy, tragedy, history, magic, shipwrecks, and more).
and deaths.

Who is this course suitable for?
- Improvisers, and actors with some improvisation experience (Level 1 Maydays course, or above).
- 17+
- Performers who want to explore Shakespeare from a fresh angle
- Improvisers who want to develop and explore their verbal dexterity and theatrical stagecraft.

This course is being led by Maydays superstar, Jenny Rowe who also performs with Impromptu Shakespeare
