Performing Shakespeare: A Weekend Crash Course

ENROLL HERE

For many years, Del Shakes has been creating vibrant, relatable, actor-centered productions of Shakespeare’s works. Now, join Artistic Squad member Eric Mills and Producing Artistic Director David Stradley for a two-day workshop as they share our blend of ideas, techniques, and collaboration that lead to such memorable performances.

Areas of instruction include: text analysis, physicalizing the text, making Shakespeare your own, and more.

The workshop is great for performers who want to dip their toes into acting Shakespeare, or actors with more experience who are looking for a brush-up.

WHEN: Saturday, March 25 10am-5pm (w/one hour lunch break)
Sunday, March 26 5pm-9pm

WHERE: OperaDelaware Studios (4 S. Poplar Street, Wilmington, DE 19801)

COST: $135

“One of the hallmarks of Del Shakes’ productions is making Shakespeare clear and exciting,” says David. “We’re looking forward to sharing some of how we work in the rehearsal room to bring these plays to life.”

“This will be an all-out fun, lively, and practical exploration of performing Shakespeare,” says Eric. “So put on a pair of sweat pants and come play with us!”
