Shifting Sands previous show in Nairn THE MADNESS OF LOVE, was preceded by Play and Perform workshops with participants then playing in our show. They were terrific. More workshops were offered with participants now wanting their own show.
ROMEO & JULIET is the result!
This is a fresh, invigorating version of Shakespeare’s famous tragedy playful and irreverent but not a spoof or parody.
Join us as we tackle the pitfalls of Shakespearean English scale the dizzy heights of passion and plummet the depths of a lover’s despair. The warring world of the Capulets and Montagues provides great opportunities for play. Props are scarce but maybe the ladder will come in useful?
But what began as a game becomes deadly serious as we fall under the spell of passion and poetry.
Playing with tragedy can be fatal!

CLOWN : PLAY & DEVISE
The Clown discovers the world by playing with it. It’s the same with the audience. What will they like? What will work? We will discover how to play with the audience by creating material.
What is the course about?
Firstly, it is about how to enjoy yourself on stage and secondly, how to share this with others and with the audience. Participants will be encouraged to develop their own pieces either solo or with others in the group. You can bring and develop a piece you are already working on. There will be an informal sharing of the work to an invited group of friends.
What topics will we cover?
Play, rhythm, complicite, focus, timing, spatial awareness, status.
And, above all, we will have FUN!
