Comedy Shakespeare Workshop: Alphabetti Theatre

Edward Day presents Comedy Shakespeare Workshop on 19th July 2018 at the Alphabetti Theatre in Newcastle.

A playful workshop for performers, poets and anyone who’s ever wanted to unleash their inner child upon Shakespeare’s greatest works.

Humour is everywhere in Shakespeare, from the obvious bumbling clowns to the comic one liners peppered through the famous speeches.

Alongside performances of Super Hamlet 64 Edward Day will be running a workshop in unlocking the comedy in Shakespeare, mixing clowning techniques from Paris's Ecole Jacques Lecoq, popular with companies such as Kneehigh and Told by an Idiot, with traditional approaches from the likes of John Barton and Patsy Rodenberg. The workshop will explore:·

• Wordplay Spontaneity
• Audience interaction
• Idiocy, ignorance and arrogance·

Taking things to extremes you will work with very short excerpts from Shakespeare's plays, but participants are welcome to bring your own selections to explore as well.
