Looking at our journey with Shakespeare, as well as the creative process behind the making of a new piece of alternativeShakespeare.

 

A particular Shakespeare play is explored, and over a series of podcast episodes, we connect with the inner workings of the play, the processes behind our work, and the alternativeShakespeare plays that have come to life over the last 20 years. 

A series of one day workshops held in Birmingham (Blue Orange, Old Joint Stock, theWorkshop, St.Paul's).

 

Topics have included:-

• Speaking not Speeching Shakespeare

• Hamlet: underneath the text

• Women in Hamlet

• King Lear: Cordelia & the Fool

• Shakespeare stripped back

• NTI Workshops-New Drama inspired by Shakespeare

Weekly meetings, St.Paul's Church and the Birmingham & Midland Institute.

 

Workshopping and reading Shakespeare's plays, with each person taking turns reading a character's 'thought'. Discussions on what we have found, how Shakespeare goes about his craft and what the lines said to us individually, relating the words to our own personal experiences.
