Explore, Trust and Relish
A Shakespeare Intensive with Elizabeth Swain

Shakespeare's text is a gift to the actor who knows how to find the offered clues to performance. We will explore the text's structure, its rhetorical devices, its rhythm and sound; we will learn to trust the text as the source of what we need to know to bring the text to vibrant stage life as we work on the performance of scenes and monologues. The goal is to give you a way of approaching any new piece of Shakespeare text.. or indeed any heightened text.
