Want to finally get to grips with Shakespeare? Looking for more options to add to your toolkit to enable you to delve deeper into performing his works with authenticity? Or do you feel you should be able to “do Shakespeare”, or have to “do Shakespeare” for a gig or at school, but just don’t know where to start?
Internationally award-winning Shakespeare Actor & Director, Sally McLean, is back to guide you through her unique set of techniques and exercises to finally conquer Shakespeare’s language and truly make it your own with her Playing The Bard: Shakespeare In Performance course, live in an online small group class for a limited time, and bookings are open now.
Come join Sally through the month of February and stretch your wings in the Shakespeare realm in a fun, supportive and transformational online space, working one-on-one and in a group with a multi award-winning and critically acclaimed director of Shakespeare.
Using techniques developed over ten years of adapting and directing Shakespeare for the screen and stage, including internationally acclaimed digital series’ Shakespeare Republic, Walking Shadows and Dark Arcadia as well as her years of teaching Shakespeare at institutions such as the Howard Fine Acting Studio Australia and the Equity Foundation, plus her extensive experience playing Shakespeare on stage and screen in both Australia and the UK, Sally brings all her knowledge and expertise to this 4 week class, enabling actors to delve deep into Shakespeare’s text, get grounded and embody character, while making Shakespeare’s language their own.
“… polished, beautifully made series from director/producer Sally McLean … a fine use of the platform and, more importantly, a very fine adaptation of the Bard … Shakespeare Republic is put together with grace and wit. An assortment of actors do terrific work making the (non-dumbed down) dialogue accessible, prying it open with great care and skill.” – THE GUARDIAN
