Week-Long Workshop in Sicily: Movement in(to) Shakespeare

Unlock the power of Shakespeare through movement in the enchanting landscapes of Sicily. Join us for "Movement in(to) Shakespeare," a transformative 7-day Creative Immersive Residency guided by Kat Alix-Gaudreau—renowned director, educator, and scholar from the Shakespeare Institute in Stratford-upon-Avon. 

Inspired by visionary practitioners like Peter Brook, Jerzy Grotowski, and Viola Spolin, this residency invites you to dissolve language barriers and explore Shakespeare’s timeless works through dynamic movement and self-expression. Engage in intensive workshops and movement exercises that foster creativity, build confidence, and inspire personal interpretation.

 Immerse yourself in creative scene-building, share your unique vision, and gain insightful feedback, culminating in an optional community sharing. Embrace movement as your language, and leave Sicily ready to lead and inspire with a fresh perspective on Shakespeare’s work.
