Young Actor’s Shakespeare Intensive

“YASI is one of the greatest things that happen to me in a year.” – Kailan

Become a QSE actor for the holidays!

Young actors (grades 7 – 12)  are invited to train as an ensemble in a collaborative environment. Over 4 days, participants will explore Shakespeare’s works through exercises and techniques utilized by QSE’s Core Ensemble with sessions focusing on areas including: 

  • Voice
  • Text
  • Ensemble
  • Monologues
  • Scene work
  • Music

Young actors will work with some of QSE’s most experienced actors, directors, and facilitators and finish their week with an evening showcase for friends and family.
