The ISC offers two types of workshops. The first is designed to make the works of Shakespeare come to life for the young reader. The second is an advanced workshop in improvisation specifically designed for improvisers. Each workshop is taught by an Improvised Shakespeare Company member.

Take a risk! Learn how to create a fully improvised story using the language and themes of William Shakespeare! We’ll explore the use of heightened emotional responses, rich character subtext, finding the game within a scene, and developing a sense of play. Our class will be filled with power struggles, star-crossed lovers, sprites, kings, queens, princesses, sword-play, rhyming couplets, asides, insults, persons in disguise and all that we’ve come to expect from the pen of the Great Bard.
