Experience Shakespeare like never before in a masterclass with internationally renowned theatre company Cheek By Jowl

The Christ’s Amateur Dramatic Society (CADS) is proud to present international theatre company Cheek By Jowl in a practical Shakespeare acting workshop, offered for free to Cambridge students interested in performance, classical texts, and theatre.

Cheek by Jowl is the international theatre company of Declan Donnellan and Nick Ormerod. Since it was founded in 1981, the company has been invited to perform in over 400 cities and 50 countries across the world and currently produces work in English, Italian, French and Russian. Prioritising a search for life in the actor’s work, the company has established an international reputation for bringing ‘fresh life to the classics using intense, vivid performances like a laser of light to set the text ablaze’ (The Guardian).

The workshop will be facilitated by director, writer, educator, and associate of Cheek By Jowl, Marcus Roche. Marcus was assistant director to Declan Donnellan at Cheek by Jowl and toured with their productions of Shakespeare’s Pericles and The Winter’s Tale. He studied at the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama and École Philippe Gaulier in Paris. He continues to teach Declan’s method all over Europe.

There are only twenty spaces for this workshop and participation is free.

Registrations open on 25 April, 12PM UK time.
