Acting Shakespeare From Cue-Scripts

Class

Who could benefit from this course?
All actors looking to improve their text skills and confidence with Classical text especially - but in the most dynamic acting environment.

How does it work?
In one day, you will learn all the text and acting skills needed to perform (not just to work, to perform) from just your lines and cues. These will include working with First Folio text, decoding stage directions in the text, self-blocking, & the company jig. Then three weeks to study your own part for a scene to be performed at the performance workshop in front of an invited audience of friends & family three weeks later, with two one-to-one text coaching sessions to support & prepare you.

What do you gain?
Confidence with text, boldness at shaping character & making clear choices, & the best listenting & improv skills.

Testimonials
“There are times when I forget that the cast haven’t rehearsed. This takes quite some acting skill on their parts and makes you consider just how much preparation they must have done, on their own and with Lizzie, to get to a point of such natural onstage chemistry… It is a thrill to see the cast enjoying the surprise as much as us. The prevailing result of the cue script performance is that it allows the audience to feel complicit in the play’s creation. The pauses and breaks create our own personalized show that no other audience will get to see.”
