in 50 words

The fun of our focus jumps to life instantly. When our actor-teachers launch into action, their focus is on performance. Teaching Shakespeare emphasizes self-discovery and PLAYful energy—gleaned through performance. Participans get On-Their-Feet and learn by doing, watching, hearing, experiencing, and PLAYing.
