Shakespeare’s text demands a connection between thought, emotion, and the voice, and breath is the bridge that makes it all happen. In this workshop, participants will explore how breath drives intention, unlocks rhythm, and supports emotional expression in Shakespeare’s verse. Through guided exercises, actors will learn to integrate breath with the natural flow of the language, using it as a tool to clarify complex thoughts and ignite emotional authenticity. By connecting voice to breath and breath to intention, this session empowers performers to bring the full vitality of Shakespeare’s words to life in their own unique way.
