Baltimore Weekend Intensive

The Weekend Intensives are designed to meet the needs of actors who seek an introduction to Shakespeare & Company's training methods, and an opportunity to re-awaken and revitalize their relationship to Shakespeare's text.

The Weekend Intensive Format:
- Friday evening is an introduction to Shakespeare & Company's aesthetic and an opportunity for the actors to shift gears and focus on their work through a series of exercises involving voice, body and memory work.
- Day two focuses on the actor's individual voice and experiences, which are incorporated into a monologue that the actor has prepared for the class.
- Sunday moves more vigorously through the voice and bodywork, with the actors reconnecting with Shakespeare's text, revisiting their monologues and exploring how the structure of the verse might influence character and performance.

The Weekend Intensive schedule is Friday from 7pm - 10pm, Saturday from 10am - 10pm and Sunday from 10am - 4pm. Adequate time for meal breaks is given, though participants are responsible for their own meals.
The workshops are limited to 15 participants.
