Why is this old white dude still relevant? What can his dense text offer us and our audiences? And who understands it anyway? This workshop will knock Shakespeare off his pedestal while appreciating what he has to offer, and give you the tools you need to get inside his words. Students should bring a pencil, or a writing utensil that is erasable, and be prepared to speak aloud. There will be some movement, but no special attire is required.
