LENOX, MA – Shakespeare & Company’s Center for Actor Training has announced its spring 2024 schedule of workshops and weekend intensives, including both in-person and online offerings.
Workshops will be held at various locations across the country including Los Angeles, New York, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., and Shakespeare & Company's 33-acre campus.
The season kicks off March 8 with a weekend intensive in Philadelphia, and an online movement workshop taught by Shakespeare & Company’s Director of Training Sheila Bandyopadhyay. An audition workshop with Artistic Director Allyn Burrows is also slated for March 23 in New York.
Shakespeare & Company’s Weekend Intensives integrate voice, movement, and monologue work, and will take place from March through April: Philadelphia, March 8 to 10; Washington, D.C., March 29 to 31; Lenox, April 19 to 21, (dormitory housing available on campus for $50 per night); and Los Angeles, April 26 to 28.
The online workshop “Presence, Power, and Freedom in Movement” will be held on Tuesdays: March 12, 19, 26, and April 27, from 7 to 9 p.m. EST. This workshop is an opportunity to dive deeply into the experience of authentic, embodied presence for both work as an actor and as a technique for living. All levels are welcome, and previous movement experience is not required. Led by Bandyopadhyay.
In-person workshops include “The Art of the Audition” with Allyn Burrows on March 23, in midtown Manhattan. Shakespeare & Company Artistic Director Burrows will spend a day with a group of fellow actors to craft two audition pieces.
On April 18 and April 19, there will be “Tuning Your Instrument,” a two-day, special workshop focused on voice and movement, to help strengthen the connection to the instrument and to develop an open channel for breath, sound, and physical expression.
