Will Power

This course is a practical and dynamic introduction to performing Shakespeare’s work.

Inspired by Shakespeare’s deep exploration of the human experience, Shaun teaches students to find creative liberation through timeless narrative, moment-to-moment play, and a thorough exploration of vocal and physical technique. Fusing both the classical and the contemporary, his work is grounded in the belief that exploring the stories of our past contextualises our present and helps us better shape our future.

Bring Shakespeare into the modern world  and put your individual spin on the world’s most performed playwright. Shakespeare with a Spin gives you a toolkit to unlock their technical craft while inspiring their creativity and artistic voice. In 2024 you will use Shakespeare’s Macbeth as a core text to illuminate the great truths of life across time, space and gender. Under the guidance of Shaun Goss, your ensemble will create physical and vocal explorations that respond to our contemporary world while developing an actor’s toolkit through research, observation and textual analysis, along with imagination and play.

Shakespeare with a Spin culminates in a public performance in our Black Box Theatre.
