About the event
Ren Faire actors have about 3 months to prepare their characters, learn Elizabethan history, practice the dialect, and learn the language. We’re going to use 90 minutes to learn the tricks of the trade including status, language, courtly bows, bits, non-contact stage fighting, and any other arrows you need for your quiver to improvise ren faire style!
Bring a small handheld prop, a Shakespearean monologue/sonnet, and printed lyrics of your favorite song
