Low-friction entry. Start with the library or attend a live session for £10. No commitment, no application. Just the method, applied to foundational Shakespeare problems.
High-polish recorded lessons on foundational Shakespeare technique. Each module tackles a specific problem: iambic pentameter, verse vs prose, soliloquy structure, rhetoric, First Folio clues, building a classical audition book, and more. Watch at your own pace. Revisit as needed.
For actors building or refreshing their classical toolkit. From drama-school auditionees through to working professionals who want to revisit fundamentals.
Learn moreMonthly live teaching on a foundational topic, with Q&A. Each session covers one concept from the library in Emily's own voice. A way to experience the method before committing to anything.
No prerequisites. Open to everyone.
Learn moreCoached group work. The cohorts are structured programmes with clear outcomes and capped numbers. The clinic is a recurring drop-in for actors with current material. Both are live, demanding, and built around the method.
The headline cohort. Six weeks of structured, practical Shakespeare audition training for actors preparing for drama-school entry or classical auditions. Built around Emily's method, tested in self-tape practice, and coached in a small group.
Outcome: audition-ready material, shaped in class and tested in self-tape practice. The value is the coached room, the method, and the rigour.
Eight to ten weeks inside one play. For working actors and serious trainees who want sustained, detailed engagement with a single text rather than a survey. Brings Emily's modern-performance lens to canonical Shakespeare.
Deep canonical immersion with a clear modern-performance application. Built for actors already in training or professionally active.
Practical Shakespeare work for directors: how to read the text, how to run the room, and how to make confident choices under rehearsal pressure. Led by Emily as a working writer-director with Globe faculty experience.
Rigour and clarity for directors who want to approach Shakespeare with more practical confidence in the rehearsal room.
The clinic runs monthly. You bring what you are working on: an audition speech, a rehearsal problem, a self-tape. Emily coaches it live. It is the simplest way to stay in the work between intensives.
Open to anyone with material to work on, from drama-school auditionees preparing a classical piece to working actors mid-rehearsal.
Bespoke 1:1 coaching for actors and directors who need support shaped entirely around their situation.
1:1 sessions are for actors and directors who need support shaped entirely around their situation: an audition next week, a rehearsal that is not landing, a self-tape for a casting director who wants classical, or long-term development across a season.
The approach is the same as in every programme. In a private session, the room and the focus are entirely yours.
Start with the library or a £10 live session. Train in a cohort or clinic. Or book bespoke 1:1 coaching for a live problem.
