$425 for 6 Weeks
Armin Shimerman, the esteemed Shakespearian scholar and teacher, offers a six-week scene class at the Antaeus Theatre. He is looking for new people interested in learning more about Elizabethan Rhetoric, which he considers the Rosetta Stone, to not only understand the playwright’s language but also acquiring techniques for communicating arcane language to a modern audience. Besides Rhetoric, Armin offers insights into Elizabethan culture, medieval History, Religion, and Theatre. The class is meant for actors hoping to improve their classical techniques but has always proved of interest to teachers and directors of the plays. He guarantees that Shakespeare will never seem daunting again.
