Instructor: Renea Brown
Prior Experience: Prior participation in Introduction to Acting or equivalent preferred, but not required.

Tired of seeing the same Lady Macbeth over and over on stage? Learn how to create unique and interesting characters and choices by using Shakespeares text, and your own imagination. No matter how many lines or scenes an actor has, character creation is key in making a show memorable! Students will gain a working knowledge of how to build Shakespeare’s characters and intent – a foundation that can then be applied toward continuing study and performance.

What I Love About Teaching: “I love witnessing a student’s light bulb moment. I’m only giving students tools; when they add their creativity to those tools then comes the moment of an epiphany!”
