In your first four weeks you’ll work with Brandy digging into our beloved First Folio approach and readying your speech for production. In your last four weeks you’ll work with Maren on voice, movement and elocution getting ready for production! Bring your fury and passion to rabble rouse the crowd. Let the battles begin!
