Finding the Pulse

Bringing Shakespeare to Life

Shakespeare’s language lives in the body. The word on the page is only a tiny piece of the puzzle.

In the digital age, reading has become an intellectual exercise, but Shakespeare’s words weren’t written to be read. They were written to be spoken aloud, to move through our bodies and voices, to live in our toes and spine, to beat with our pulse.

This workshop transforms our understanding of Shakespeare’s words by moving them out of our heads and into our breath and bones, allowing us to access the immediacy and power of Shakespeare’s language.

Be prepared for fun, surprises, and sweat. Lots of sweat.
