Full Fathom Five; 3-week Shakespeare Intensive with Amy Michelle Gaither

$175.00

3 week course // Saturdays 11:30am-1:30pm // October 25, November 1, 8

Taught by Amy Michelle Gaither
@ BCTR, 251 Huron Street, Greenpoint BK

Get out of your head and into the work. Whether you're new to Shakespeare or returning with experience, this class is a space to unlock something deeper in your craft. Using scenes from Shakespeare’s plays as our playground, we’ll approach the text as actors — not academics — with an emphasis on physical connection, emotional truth, and personal resonance.

Amy’s teaching invites you to explore the language as a living, breathing force— without overanalyzing. It’s about working on your feet, diving into the verse, and discovering the physical embodiment of Shakespeare’s rich and deeply human characters. If you’re feeling stuck, curious, rusty, intimidated, or simply hungry for more — this class is for you.
