Shakespeare Scene Study: Summer High School Intensive | Visionbox Studio

Shakespeare Scene Study
July 20th – July 31st | Mondays – Fridays from 1 – 8 p.m.

This class will focus on text analysis, scansion, and “articulated thought” in Shakespeare’s plays. The textbook for this class is Playing Shakespeare by John Barton. All students will work on soliloquies and sonnets initially, before moving into scene study from the Shakespeare canon.

Each year since our founding, Visionbox Studio has offered Summer theatre training intensives to high school students and professional adult actors. Throughout our season from September to May, our classes run in five-week sequences where students and professionals attend classes/rehearsals two times a week. In the summer, we take five weeks of class and compress it into a two-week intensive. High School students have three hours of class with Jennifer McCray Rincon from 1-4 p.m., and overlap with our adult classes from 5-8 p.m., Monday-Friday, for two weeks. These intensives are an in-depth way for younger students to be introduced to professional acting techniques and the complex writers that teach us about the human condition. These playwrights prepare us to develop new works.

This year, we are very excited to announce our residency at the International School of Denver! We will be holding all of our high school and adult intensives at their new building, which includes classrooms, studios, and a theater. At the end of each class sequence, students will have the opportunity to perform their work for friends, family, and industry professionals.

We will be holding a Zoom informational session with Jennifer McCray Rincon on May 30th from 10 a.m.-12 p.m., and anyone is welcome to join us. Email us at info@visionbox.org to receive the login. Jennifer is also available to come to your school and teach any number of workshops and introduce students to Visionbox training. Please do not hesitate to write to us at info@visionbox.org or call us at 720-810-1641.

All classes will be held at the International School of Denver | 458 Uinta Way, Denver 80230
