Shakespeare Scene Study at Queensland Shakespeare Ensemble

Take a sneak-peek into the Queensland Shakespeare Ensemble's (QSE) rehearsal room methods by joining this three-day course!

Dive into the techniques that fuel the clarity, energy, and magic of QSE productions. You will receive a carefully selected scene to learn in advance of the workshop and will then work and play with a scene partner and other participants in understanding and embodying Shakespeare’s text.

What to expect:

• Unleash the full spectrum of passion and emotion within Shakespeare’s words
• Hone your ability to convey the vivid images and ideas embedded in Shakespeare’s verse and prose
• Bridge the gap between the timeless scenarios and characters of Shakespeare and contemporary political and philosophical ideas
• Explore the psychological depth of Shakespeare’s writing, unravelling its richness and bringing it to life in your performance

Prerequisite: None. This course is perfect for artists, drama or theatre teachers, applied theatre practitioners, and students looking to deepen their Shakespearean craft. It’s also a great fit for anyone eager to expand their skillset, reconnect with performance practice, or explore Shakespeare’s text in a supportive, ensemble-focused environment.
