LEVEL I : November 17 - 19; 9:00am - 6:00pm daily

Tuition:  $650


For those who have not yet studied with Patsy, or those looking for a refresher.  Level One helps take the fear out of approaching Shakespeare, incorporating significant group and solo voice work, culminating in one-on-one monologue work.  Prior voice training and knowledge of Shakespeare is required.

Headshot/Resume Submission required for consideration.


LEVEL II: November 20 - 22; 9:00am - 6:00pm daily

Tuition:  $650


Level Two continues the work of Level One, incorporating group and ensemble work with an emphasis on Patsy’s Second Circle exercises, diving deeper into text analysis and character development.


LEVEL III:  Coming January 2012!; 9:00am - 6:00pm daily

Tuition:  $875


For those ready to apply Patsy’s work to a full-length play, Level III takes the ensemble aspect of Patsy’s work and culminates in a presentation of one Shakespeare play.  This four-day intensive focuses on ensemble, heightened text, and character development and is for actors ready to take their work to the highest level.


Actors must have participated in past Levels 1 & 2 in order to enroll in Level 3 or by approval of Patsy Rodenburg 


We believe taking all three intensives in sequence will heighten the work and create the most artistically fulfilling experience for the actor.  Those actors who enroll in all 3 workshops will be given a 10% discount.


To apply, please email us your headshot and resume.
