Summer Shakespear Studio
It's that time of year again - applications are now LIVE for The Old Globe's Summer Shakespear Studio.
Through a month-long process, students receive an intensive curriculum of acting, movement, music, and writing classes as well as training in voice and speech, stage combat, and text. Master classes are offered with Globe artists and staff, many of whom are among the leaders in their fields. These instructors seek to deepen students' understanding and appreciation of Shakespeare's writing and to use his work as a model for engaging the students with their own experiences. The Studio also incorporates non-Shakespearean material, such as modern music, original texts, and the participants' own freewrites, in which the group brainstorms topics essential to the story, then breaks out to discover different ways to express them.
Cost: $725
Registration Deadline: April 1, 2017
When:
July 17 - August 14

Come enjoy a great afternoon of music in this special benefit concert to support music eduaction!
