Acting Shakespeare Workshop with Gideon Rappaport

Posted January 15, 2020 by Shaxspear | Leave a Comment

Sunday, February 23rd, 2:00 – 5:00 pm

Coronado Community Center
Sand Dollar Room
1845 Strand Way
Coronado, CA 92118

Work on audition monologues and learn how to prepare for the SDSS Open Readings!

Gideon Rappaport is San Diego’s premiere Shakespearean dramaturge. He will work with actors on their Shakespearean sonnet or monologue concentrating on correct pronunciations, interpretation, speaking in iambic pentameter, proper syllable stress, and making your Shakespeare performance understandable, accessible, and dramatically exciting to an audience!

Excellent preparation for presenting your Shakespeare piece at any audition.

15 Students will be guaranteed 10 minutes of Gideon’s attention and feedback. Your monologue should be no longer than 2 minutes.

While we can only work with a small group of actors, we are also happy to offer up AUDIENCE seating—hear the same lessons and see the results for yourself!

Registration details:

  • Actors: $25 (Members: $20)
  • Audience: $15 (Members $12)

Members: log into your account to find the discount code!
