Whether you’ve never read a line of Shakespeare or you’ve performed his plays on stage, this workshop offers a fresh, practical approach to understanding and performing his work.

Run by Oslo English Players and guided by a seasoned instructor with both academic insight and performance experience, you’ll explore Shakespeare’s language through a combination of text analysis, vocal exercises, and movement. You’ll break down the barriers of verse and prose, uncovering the rhythm, imagery, and emotional depth embedded in his writing.

Through hands-on activities and collaborative scene work, you’ll gain:

🔹 Language and Text Skills – Learn practical tools for decoding Shakespeare’s words, navigating his rich vocabulary, and discovering the nuances of meaning, rhythm, and tone.
🔹 Voice and Performance Practice – Strengthen your vocal clarity, emotional connection, and physical presence to express the text with confidence and authenticity.
🔹 Scene Study and Acting – Dive into selected scenes with fellow participants, rehearsing and performing together in a supportive and engaging environment.

By the end of the day, you’ll walk away with a deeper understanding of Shakespeare’s plays, a stronger connection to the text, and a toolkit for bringing his characters to life—whether for performance, education, or personal enrichment.

All levels of experience are welcome! Bring your curiosity, your voice, and a willingness to play. This is Shakespeare as you’ve never experienced him before: bold, physical, clear—and fun.
