Shakespeare Verse to Character

Friday January 31, 2025 9:30am - 10:45am EST

General, open to all. In this workshop, you'll explore how the fundamentals of iambic pentameter can help you understand the inner workings of your character and find not-so-hidden clues that Shakespeare left for his actors. We'll also discuss how Shakespeare is for everyone--you'll come away knowing that you never need to sacrifice your identity to work on classic texts.
