What prep do I need to do?

For most of our workshops there is no preparation needed. We will send out any script bits usually a few days before the session, but there is no need to work on these before the workshop (unless you want to).

I'm newer to Shakespeare - will I be able to keep up?

Our workshops are open to all experience levels from beginner to professional. We deliberately tailor the exercises in each session to be accessible no matter where you're at in your journey.

Comfortable clothes you can move in, some water and snacks, a device to read the script from. If a particular workshop requires anything else, we will let you know in advance.

Are the studios accessible?

All studios at Old Diorama Arts Centre have step-free access. If you have any access requirements, please contact us on itsbardcity@gmail.com and we'll endeavour to meet your needs as best we can.

Shakespeare Workout: Family Ties

From raging patriarchs to rebellious daughters, Shakespeare’s plays are packed with family drama. In this month's in-person workshop, we’ll focus on some of Shakespeare's most iconic plays to explore the weight of familial expectations, reputation and self-determination. What happens when children defy their parents and go their own way?

We will explore Shakespeare's text using active and playful acting exercises. There’s no need to prepare anything in advance and our workshops are suitable for all experience levels.

Following the workshop, there will be an informal Q&A with director Erica Whyman, whose acclaimed work with the RSC (Romeo & Juliet, The Winter's Tale etc) has often explored family relationships, power, and vulnerability. Erica is currently gearing up to direct the stage production of Maggie O'Farrell's Hamnet on a tour of the United States.

Schedule:

3-4.50pm: Workshop with Harry Waller

4.50-5pm: Break

5-6pm: Q&A with Erica Whyman
