Shakespeare's Heartbeat Workshop

Join us for the Shakespeare’s Heartbeat Workshop with The Vintage Theater Company!

During our time together, we’ll define iambic pentameter (and maybe even try writing a little bit of our own), talk about why we like to think of it as a heartbeat rather than a march, and show you how it helps emphasize the most important words in every line, how it helps us take Shakespeare off the page and onto the stage, and how it can help you better understand the Shakespeare plays you read. 

Some people describe it as a march, but we like to think of it as a heartbeat – the heartbeat that gives life to Shakespeare’s characters and words. This self-contained 2 hour workshop offers you the chance to explore that heartbeat and find out what happens when it starts to beats a little bit harder than usual…or skips a beat…or even stops. 

Tickets: $10 per person
