WHAT TO EXPECT
Vienna Shakespeare is all about performing, exploring and talking about Shakespeare!
Everyone is free to bring in the scene(s) or sonnet(s) of their choice, and you'll spend your time getting on your feet, trying things out, working with the other students on scenes and having conversations about what makes your character tick.
Every week, each student will have their chance to perform their Shakespeare scene or sonnet, talk about it with the group, rehearse it, get feedback and make dramatic discoveries!
Need a scene partner? I'll put you in touch with your fellow classmates on the VAC WhatsApp Group!

HOW DO THESE CLASSES WORK?
You'll be able to collaborate with other students for multi person scenes, or you're welcome to bring monologues to work solo. In either case, you'll leave these classes feeling more confident in your instincts, more sure of your process as an actor, and with improved technical skills for your voice, body language, and ability to create and perform a unique character.
In my classes, everyone is welcome to go at their own pace. Self-Motivation is very important, as I won't force anyone to perform if they feel unready. In order to feel comfortable in these classes, you must be ready to ask questions, prepare in advance, and learn both from watching others, and performing/ rehearsing yourself.

HOW TO PREPARE
Acting Shakespeare
What to bring to class
-
CLOTHING you can MOVE IN
-
NOTEBOOK to write down your thoughts and feedback
-
A COPY of your SCRIPT for each scene partner
You'll have the best experience if you bring something in that you've had time to prepare. Get familiar with the play! Know where your character is coming from, what situation they're dealing with, what they want..... Have an opinion about what's going on in your play/ sonnet!
Of course you don't need to know everything - and don't worry at all if you don't have time to get memorized. This class is about having fun, learning and having fabulous discussions about drama, history, character, human behavior and everything else that makes Shakespeare great!

HOW DO YOU CHOOSE A SCRIPT?
-
The major categories are Comedy, Tragedy or Political. Take a look at the RECOMMENDED SCRIPTS - and find something that appeals to you!
-
Choose any character you like - Don't worry about Gender, Age , etc
-
Feel free to prepare more than one scene! You get to decide if you want to work on one scene/ sonnet for the whole course, or if you prefer to work on a different scene/ sonnets each week.
SHOULD I WATCH MY PLAY BEFORE I COME?
You are totally welcome to watch any version of you play if that helps you bring the story to life and understand what's going on. Just make sure you don't copy their performance, or assume that that director/ actors interpretation is the RIGHT one! Your own performance will be totally different, even if you draw inspiration from what you see others doing.
