Next Public Workshop

Matthew's next public workshop, Explore More Shakespeare Sonnets by Speaking Them, will be in the Brompton Cemetery chapel on Wednesday 29th July (5.45pm to 7.45pm).

 

 

 

 

 

During the workshop, Matthew will introduce the principles of voice work and use exercises to help participants explore their voices as they explore contrasting aspects of love - from spiritual devotion to destructive obsession, to the lusty, self-mocking and downright funny.

 

The workshop is suitable for regular participants and for people who've never done spoken voice work.

It's equally suitable for Shakespeare aficionados and for those who've never read a line of his poetry.
 

The nearest tube stations to Brompton Cemetery are West Brompton, Earl's Court and Fulham Broadway.

Tickets cost £16.50 (including booking fee).

Mineral water, tea and biscuits will be provided.
