Short Course
Shakespeare Intensive
The course takes place over two consecutive weeks (no weekends) and entails in depth work on approaching Shakespeare using RSC, Globe and National Theatre practice, culminating in a public black box, ensemble showing of a condensed Shakespeare play. With astounding feedback from participants across the board, don’t miss the chance to demystify Shakespeare and take your career to the next level!
Regular practitioners have included award winning actors Adjoa Andoh and Simon Trinder who have collectively performed in over 25 Shakespearean productions with the Royal Shakespeare Company, National Theatre and Shakespeare's Globe and Head of Voice at the National Theatre’s Jeannette Nelson.
Please note: As we are working practitioners, ICAT reserves the right to replace any of the course leaders at any point with an artist whom we deem appropriate.
