Confidence, Presence & Performance

 

 

The Classroom Theatre

 

"All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players."
Shakespeare: As You Like It

"All the world's a stage, and most of us are desperately unrehearsed."
Sean O'Casey

If, as Shakespeare says, “All the Worlds a Stage” then you, the teacher are like an old fashioned actor/manager… you may spend a lot of time centre stage, some of the time as company director and the rest as a stage hand.

Is your audience on the edge of their seat or are they drifting? Are you bringing out the best performances from the other members of the cast?

Even the finest script needs a convincing delivery - body language, vocal power, confidence and presence – to do it justice. This workshop employs some surprisingly simple procedures to help you spring clean your performance skills and inspire your fellow players to join you in the show.
