Come Play with Richmond Shakespeare in October!
Awesome workshops and classes abound up in here at Richmond Shakespeare!
Fall Course:
Essentials of
Stage Acting
with Andrew Hamm
Wednesdays from October 11-November 15, 2006, 7:00-9:30 PM
at Second Presbyterian Church (5 North 5th Street)
Richmond Shakespeare’s new Training Department kicks off the new school year with the company’s inaugural course of intensive weekly acting classes. Essentials of Stage Acting will incorporate elements of modern acting techniques adapted and evolved from Konstantin Stanislavski’s revolutionary ideas. A great course for interested beginners, the class is also designed to work as a refresher for more experienced actors who wish to go back and remind themselves of the basics. Also great for teachers working with young actors. Working with open scenes, monologues, and scenes from plays, students will learn to use warm-ups, focus exercises, scene missions, scoring of actions and text analysis to create three-dimensional characters and vibrant scenes.
Instructor Andrew Hamm, Richmond Shakespeare’s Director of Training, is a veteran actor, teacher, and playwright with experience Off-Off-Broadway, on tour, and regionally. His background runs the gamut from Shakespeare to musicals to contemporary plays to ensemble-generated work to concert performances. He received his BFA in Acting from VCU in 1996, returning to earn an MFA in Theatre Pedagogy in 2005. Andrew is currently playing Cassius in the Richmond Shakespeare Theatre’s production of Julius Caesar, running October 5-28.
12 participants maximum. Age 16+. The cost is $125.00 for the six-week course.
Participants must send in or bring a completed Student Registration Form, available on our website. If you have participated in a previous workshop or class, we will have a registration form on file, and a new one is not required.

He recently received his Masters Degree and MFA in Shakespeare and Renaissance Literature in Performance this past May from Mary Baldwin College. Rick has appeared as as Sir Toby Belch in Twelfth Night, The Duke of York in a conflation of the Henry VI plays, Pistol / Exeter in Henry V, and Hubert / Essex in King John, Antiochus / Boult in Pericles, as well as participating in understudy work for The Resident Troupe for the American Shakespeare Center. Rick is currently playing Brutus in the Richmond Shakespeare Theatre’s production of Julius Caesar, running October 5-28.
