Facilitated by Brad Daniels (Edge Improv, Brisbane Qld)

Shakespeare! The word sends a thrill up audience’s spines and a chill down improvisor’s. But fear not - Shakespearean inspired improv need not be difficult - it can in fact be fun, hilarious and super easy to do. Plus the techniques taught in this workshop can be applied in a many improv shows - not just Shakespeare! So join Brad Daniels as he teaches you some tricks and techniques to spice up your playing with some Shakespeare.
