6 Week Zoom Shakespeare Workshop Course – 6th January 2025

​

Richard III

 

For 2 hours every Monday over 6 weeks, we will read, discuss, and workshop selected scenes, speeches, and lines taken from the underbelly of Shakespeare's plays. In these sessions, we seek to analyse how Shakespeare's craft, his ethos, and his intentions all combine to create his masterpieces.

Our unique approach centres on understanding how Shakespeare's legacy can help us develop through sharing and active self-learning. We do so collaboratively, with everyone in the group taking turns reading the lines.

 

The course is open to anyone who wishes to develop their understanding of the magic and power of Shakespeare, creative writing, and theatre through self-learning. No prior knowledge of the play is required.

 

​In addition, we will be looking at characters from Richard III to create a new play using words/characters/themes from the Shakespeare play, plus new words. The workshops will greatly help in the writing of the final scripts and members can, if they want, be part of taking the new script into a Zoom performance.    ​
