The Alternative Shakespeare Collaboration

Announcement of new project for Actors!!

Calls will soon go out for Actors to take part in this work.

​

On the back of all the experiences we've gleaned to date, we are excited to announce the creation

of a new Theatre company, one that brings Shakespeare's acting company back to life!

A fanciful notion yes, but we believe that, in Theatre, fanciful is more often than

not where the best things start - in the imagination.

​​

This is what we're going to do:

​

Bring together a permanent acting company to help recreate new

Shakespeare plays out of old Shakespeare plays.

​

Follow the acting practice, as best we can, that might have

existed in Shakespeare's Theatre.

​

Work together to understand how Shakespeare worked

collaboratively with his actors.

​

Take the existing Shakespeare plays and apply

the AlternativeTheatre methods.

​

Isolate his characters, themes, speeches, lines,

scenes etc from their original setting​.

​

Workshop the text in Zoom sessions to discover how

it works and comes to theatrical life.

​

Bring our own experiences of the world

to enrich our creative process.

​

Create new plays for stage performances,

books, audio pieces, videos etc.

​

Provide material for our AlternativeShakespeare

podcasts (launching this year).​

​​

Out of the work of the TASCO project will emerge a body of AlternativeShakespeare work, as well as a

fascinating insight into the conditions that helped form the original Shakespeare plays.
