What will I get from taking part?
In this session you will work with RSC voice practitioner Ellen Hartley to explore performance techniques, practical vocal exercises and ways to unlock and understand Shakespearean text, from iambic pentameter to verse.
Ellen Hartley is a professional voice, text and accent practitioner, specialising in inclusive and accessible vocal practice for complex and classical text.
Who is leading the project?
Shakespeare Saturday sessions are led by experienced Royal Shakespeare Company directors, practitioners and writers.
Do I need experience to take part?
No, these sessions are open to everyone! Whether you are a lover of Shakespeare, or haven’t picked it up since school, you are welcome. These sessions are friendly, supportive and will be a fresh take on what Shakespeare means today.
