Workshop- Improvised Shakespeare
Event Information
Description
Improvised Shakespeare Workshop
Is it possible to improvise a fully formed Shakespearean production with just 4 hours of practice? Hell no. But it is entirely possible to dissect and practice some essential Shakespearean skills, work with the difficult language (it's not that difficult), learn the structures and tropes of Shakespearean drama, and make some incredible innuendo jokes in iambic pentameter. Unsheathe your blades and let's Shakes it up!
*From the workshop we will be casting two shows on June 23 & 24
Cost: $50
When: 6:00-10:00 PM
Where: The Scott Block Theatre (Red Deer)
Workshop with Owen Chan of Kinkonauts (Calgary)
Owen is a high school drama teacher, improv enthusiast, and passionate supporter of live theatre. He came to teaching and improv at the same time as a member of the UBCi Improv Club in Vancouver, and is happy to have been a coach of dozens of improv troupes over the past decade.
As a founding member of The Kinkonauts Owen has performed for six years in Calgary and on stages throughout North America, including Improvaganza and the Prairie Bowl at Rapid Fire Theatre in Edmonton. Owen has trained with Jimmy Carrane; at Improv Olympic with Rance Rizzutto, Adal Rifai, Craig Uhlir, Lyndsay Hailey, and Jason Chin; Joe Bill and Mark Sutton; Jill Bernard; Armando Diaz; and David Razowsky.
During his down time you might find him playing the guitar, juggling, walking his dog or wearing bow-ties.
