3 Days – in Berlin
Shakespeare workshop
Actors are often overwhelmed by complex text. This workshop will dispel those fears and give you simple practical exercises which render the text more and more understandable and actable. We will examine the verse form, the move from prose to poetry, the complex building bricks of the great speeches with practice of the rhetorical devices which Shakespeare inherited and then brilliantly developed. We will look at an Elizabethan dance to find clues to the physical life of the characters and by the end of the workshop I would hope you would feel ready to perform a monologue in English and or German.
“I’ve taken several workshops at the Schott Acting Studio, which have all been super helpful and inspiring. The latest workshop I’ve been to was Di Travis’ Shakespeare workshop, which was wonderful. Di teaches concrete, very effective tools to break down a difficult monologue and prepare it for rehearsal/performance, which anyone can use, and not just for Shakespeare. She also gives precise individual feedback even such in a short amount of time, which speaks to her vast experience.” – Alina (September 2025)
“The Shakespeare workshop with Di Trevis has been a precious and beautiful discovery and experience. Di has an unimaginable knowledge and expertise, and her passion and love for Shakespeare language and poetry is palpable.
In every moment, Di has been able to explain and enrich my idea and understanding of Shakespeare and, even more, has given me the tools and confidence to work and approach a Shakespearean (but not only) text. The direction and notes she gave throughout the moments of proper performance were absolutely eye-opening and of incredible value. I kept thinking about the work we did together and her words for many days after the end of the workshop. I can’t´ wait to meet her again, and I absolutely recommend every actor to attend one of her classes!” – Gaia Poli (September 2025)
