Short Shakespeare - Masterclass with former Head of Acting at RADA
Details
A two-hour practical workshop with Ellis Jones, former Head of Acting at RADA.
Obviously, your show-reel should demonstrate your range of acting skills - and this can include showing how well you handle Shakespeare. Now as we know, casting directors have a short attention span! However - several have said to us they'd welcome a reel including Shakespeare - as a 'yardstick' alongside scenes from modern scripts.
This workshop will help you create maximum impact within a short onscreen Shakespeare clip. Please come prepared with a carefully edited one minute extract from a monologue of your choice, or one chosen from a 'menu' of edited speeches which Ellis will send you as soon as you have applied to take part. The workshop will also provide an opportunity to share working on one of a choice short, edited 'two-hander' scenes - which again Ellis will supply in advance.
This is an opportunity to include a striking ‘classical’ element in your offer as serious professional performer.
