All:
Patsy is a superb teacher who only comes to the US a couple of times a year. I worked with her last January in LA. In order to do any of her advanced workshops you have to do one of her introductory workshops first. Her first intro workshop is full, but she's doing another one of those focusing on Shakespeare, followed by two advanced workshops.

*Patsy Rodenburg's workshops offer an in depth exploration of voice and breath. Students will experience one of the greatest acting and script analysis classes available. All workshops are rooted in the works of William Shakespeare.


CLASS DESCRIPTIONS and DATES:

Friday 15th August (10am -6pm) & Saturday 16th August (10am - 6pm)--THIS ONE IS FULL*

*Three Circles of Energy (2 Day Workshop)** **- *In this workshop, Patsy will introduce her unique method of working with the 'three circles of energy' that provide the basic tools for everyone to develop their 'presence' on stage, in auditions and interviews and in all areas of their personal and professional lives. Topics of discussion will include her books and her history of working with some of the world's leading actors and directors. Students will learn Patsy's techniques to free their natural voice. They will focus on releasing their "energy of denial" - not being fully connected with the language and their audience.
* * Open to all students. Those who have studied with Patsy in the past and would like an intensive review are encouraged to take this class!*
