Learn to approach verse naturally (no more “Shakespeare voice”) and lose any Shakesfear you may have. We will look at ways that verse and heightened language help the actor make strong and exciting choices using John Barton’s method of text analysis. This class will be beneficial to novices and experienced actors alike.</p>
