Acting the Shakespeare Monologue | The Stone Independent School

Details

Acting the Shakespeare Monologue workshop at the Stone Independent School in Lancaster is an exceptional opportunity for high school students (seniors only) and beginning actors to delve into the art of acting and explore the depths of Shakespeare's monologues. This comprehensive workshop incorporates various aspects of an actor's craft, including voice work, character building, deciphering textual clues, physicality, and emotional work. By tapping into their vulnerability and willingness to dig deep, participants will not only leave with a well-rehearsed audition piece but also with acting techniques that will boost their confidence in tackling more Shakespearean works and those by other playwrights. The workshop, held on five consecutive Sundays, from October 22 to November 19, between 4-6 PM, is a must-attend for aspiring actors. Participants are required to prepare a fully memorized Shakespeare monologue that speaks to them on a personal level, approximately 20-30 lines or 1-2 minutes long. Please note that sonnets are not accepted. Consistent attendance is expected from all students to ensure maximum benefit from the workshop.
