Guildford’s award-winning professional theatre company has launched a new programme of evening courses for anyone interested in furthering their knowledge of theatre-making.

GSC Stages is split into short courses, with each one led by a different practitioner, held at Guildford Shakespeare Company’s professional rehearsal room.

Over 12 years, GSC has worked with a wide variety of creatives and practitioners – including directors, actors, producers and designers – and for the first time course participants will be able to learn from their unique and practical masterclasses on theatre skills.

Each course can be joined separately, allowing members to gain a selection of professional insights and explore a variety of techniques through individual and group exercises.

The first course in the new programme – Approaching Shakespeare with director Richard Neale – will run between 7pm and 9pm on Mondays from November 5 to December 10.

Richard Neale directed GSC’s 2018 production of Robin Hood and is an acting teacher at Guildford School of Acting. Under Richard’s expert guidance, the course will unlock Shakespeare’s verse and prose, demystify the complex language and discovering clues in the text. Richard trained as an actor at Bristol Old Vic Theatre School. His acting credits span theatre, film TV and radio.

The practical course will use rehearsal room techniques and physical exploration to take plays from page to stage and will take place at GSC HQ at 14/15 Midleton Industrial Estate Road, Guildford, Surrey, GU2 8XW.

The fee is £120 for the term and all ages and levels of experience are welcome. Refreshments will be provided.
