Description
Each morning, students train with Shakespeare Festival teaching artists – engaging with Shakespearean scripts, stagecraft and stage combat (en guarde!). Students will exercise their voice and movement skills, developing the same techniques used by professional performers to bring complex texts to life!
After lunch, students rehearse with their peers, preparing abridged productions of Shakespeare shows. The middle school cohort typically performs a show tailored to their cast size and interests, while the high school cohort performs the same play produced in Shakespeare in the Park. As a celebration of their training, the productions are performed for family and friends on the 2nd Friday of the Session.
