We continue with The HAMLET Project, where we explore one scene (or section) of Shakespeare's Hamlet - one month at a time. To our knowledge, this is the first long-form, open rehearsal of this play available online! So yes, something new with Shakespeare. 😁

🏁 In this session, highlights include:

➤ Insights into Hamlet's struggle with grief and the challenges of expressing deep emotions

➤ Exploration of Claudius' motivations and the implications of his actions

➤ A discussion on how the Folio serves as an interpretive tool for actors and its impact on performance

*** These sessions are free for all to enjoy; your support helps us keep this space creative, accessible, and high-quality. (See below for options) ***

We explore Act 1, Scene 1: On the guards' platform at Elsinore, Horatio waits with Barnardo and Marcellus to question a ghost that has twice before appeared. The Ghost, in the form of the late King Hamlet of Denmark, appears but will not speak. Horatio decides to tell his fellow student, Prince Hamlet, about the Ghost's appearance.

I'm excited to finally share the amazing work this groups of artists has been doing. And we're still producing new sessions!
