We will work with the tutors reading round in the group then putting scenes on their feet as we establish the world of the play. Those that prefer can sit and contribute from their seats but the course is primarily designed to show how the play comes to life from an actors point of view. Hours spent workshopping are usually 10.00 - 13.00 then 14.00 to 17.00.

All those over 18 who speak English well are more than welcome to join us.

from  officers in reducing re offending -

I think the women who have been involved have benefitted in many ways inclusion, team building, self-confidence, resilience, we could go on and on. I also agree that there is an appetite for this type of intervention and hopefully we will see you again with a bigger spectacular.

I’ve noticed this morning a renewed confidence and a buzz among the women who took part. They have all been to see me at different times throughout the morning, all wanting to talk about the show and seek affirmation that they nailed it.

I’ve also been stopped a couple of times by women who attended family day asking how they get involved in such things in the future!!

Ana is absolutely delighted and has talked non-stop about it. She told me that a number of children had wanted to wear or play with the props. A little boy had left wearing the robot costume absolutely thrilled!!

HAPPY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE - what better way to celebrate the festive season than with singing, dancing and making theatre!

I personally think the whole project was a huge success, such a fantastic opportunity for the people we support to be able to access. I felt very humbled to be able to attend and watch the final performance, also with knowing the struggles some of the individuals have faced to then have the confidence to perform to an audience with newly learnt skills and humility. It was great to see them arranging their own meet ups to focus on the play when the workshops weren't happening and supporting each other throughout the process. Thank you to you and Mary for encouraging them and teaching them. 

 

Look forward to more projects in the future -  Nikki Thomas, Venus Centre

In Volume 1, 13 leading actors take us behind the scenes, each recreating in detail a memorable performance in one of Shakespeare's major roles and in volume 2, there are 12 conversations with #staractors. There's a chatty, intimate tone to the chapters as if interviewer and interviewee are sitting by an open fire with a glass of wine in hand. Probing, insightful questions that throw light on the specific role in the production in question. A #musthave for #Shakespearelovers
