Masterclass Acting Classes for Mastering Shakespeare: Suiting Action to Word

How Can We Suit the Action to the Word?

The performance of Shakespeare’s works is never neutral. To bring his plays to life, actors must align their actions with the text’s rich language and underlying themes. Our masterclass acting programs are designed to help you bridge this gap effectively. We emphasize the importance of understanding Shakespeare’s language as a tool for action, enabling you to translate complex text into dynamic performance.

What Methods Facilitate Putting Shakespeare into Action?

1. UK Classical Training: Our masterclass acting training draws on classical UK drama techniques, providing a strong foundation in Shakespearean performance. This approach helps actors grasp the rhythm and structure of Shakespeare’s language, crucial for translating it into effective stage action.

2. US Method Acting: We incorporate US Method Acting practices to deepen your emotional connection to the text. This technique encourages actors to draw from personal experience, helping them find a genuine and nuanced approach to Shakespeare’s characters.

3. Drama Therapy: Integrating drama therapy techniques allows you to explore and express the psychological and emotional dimensions of your role. This method fosters a deeper connection to the text and enhances your ability to bring Shakespeare’s complex characters to life.

How Should We Approach the Socio-Political Implications of Shakespeare?

Shakespeare’s works are deeply intertwined with the socio-political contexts of his time. At Be the Actor Within, we teach actors to be attuned to these contexts, understanding how they influence performance. Our programs encourage actors to explore how historical and political elements can inform their portrayal, ensuring that their performance resonates with contemporary audiences while remaining true to the original text.
