About this Event
This month, we will be working with a scene from 'Henry V' by William Shakespeare.
The ethos behind Bard As Nails is to provide a fun, playful space for actors to practice working with classical texts. We especially love looking at hidden gems from Shakespeare's contemporaries.
Our workshops are completely practical: we get the scene up on its feet and experiment with it as much as possible, trying out different playing spaces, contexts, and objectives to see what discoveries we can make. No table work or textual analysis - just two hours of bashing the scene out in the space. Think of it less like a class, and more like a mini R&D.
The workshops are relaxed - you can pop out of the room whenever you need - and scripts are provided on the day. We will begin with a quick check-in, then get straight to working up the scene. There is no expectation to be off book - just bring your creative energy and come ready to play!
When: 3pm - 5pm, Saturday 18th April
Where: Theatre Deli (Studio 1)
