A Flight of Workshops Tailored Just for You!
Actor’s Flight is a series of classes designed by Midsommer Flight in which actors can take up to 5 classes that focus on a specific skill related (but not limited) to Shakespeare performance and study. Classes will be organized workshop style, allowing actors to work alongside peers and learn from them and their instructors.
Actor’s Flight offers a unique opportunity for actors to work in the Midsommer Flight’s space, attending workshops that are catered to their direct interests. Our instructors have worked all over the Chicago area, bringing simultaneous experience and passion to their workshops. Participants can sign up for all five sessions, or pick and choose one or more workshops that interest them. Each workshop requires separate registration.
All workshops will be held on week nights from 7-10 PM at Midsommer Flight’s rehearsal space, 1020 W. Bryn Mawr Ave, except for Scene Study which be held on a Sunday afternoon.
