BEGINNER BOOT CAMP INTENSIVE
Over the course of this 5 Session Beginner Boot Camp Intensive, Peter will immerse you in Shakespeare’s world in a warm, engaging, and unpretentious environment full of:
-
Interactive Imagination-Based exercises
-
Collaborative monologue and scene-work
-
Thorough introduction to verse technique and scansion
-
Brief lectures on the life and times of Shakespeare for historical context
-
Tricks for memorization
-
Fun Games to spark creativity and demystify Shakespeare’s world
-
Examples of Great Shakespearean Performance
The Intensive will culminate in a final, (optionally- filmed) open class where students will perform one Shakespeare monologue and one scene that they can take with them into audition rooms and beyond!
This 5 Session Beginner Intensive is for the practical actor; the actor who wants to learn the rules, techniques, and historical contexts of heightened text but not be ruled by it; the actor who wants the visceral and spontaneous, not the poetically pre-planned; the actor who wants the muddy ground beneath their feet, not the ivory towers of the elite.
This intensive is for all of you.

INTERMEDIATE/ADVANCED COURSE
This rolling course is designed to be a playground and creative hub for experienced classical performers/seasoned Shakespeare veterans.
Peter will help these Disciples of the Bard to hone their craft, get out of their heads, deepen their understanding of Shakespearean verse technique/history, enhance spontaneity, and bridge the gap between obeying the verse-line and truthful, moment-to- moment performance through:
-
Interactive exercises
-
Fun verse-inspired games
-
Cold Reads/Audition Prep
-
Monologue/scenework
-
Exploration of Shakespearean Sonnets
-
Meisner-based repetition
And so much more!
Whether you:
-
Have been in 2 Shakespeare shows or a million
-
Have lost the fun and spontaneity in your classical work or feel liberated and truthful in performance
-
Have a shaky understanding of verse technique or can spot a Spondee a mile away
This course is for YOU!
Join the beating heart of the Shakespeare Collective in NYC and let’s bring Shakespeare back to the people y’all.
