The New York Teen Shakespeare Intensive is a training program for young actors ages 15-19. The intensive delves deeply into Shakespeare’s works, characters, and language through a progressive curriculum of physical movement training and character development techniques. NYTSI was created by Yonder Window Theatre Company to prepare young actors with the tools and fundamentals required to apply for a degree in the performing arts and working in the professional arena.
IMMERSE YOURSELF IN SHAKESPEARE'S LANGUAGE THROUGH PHYSICAL TRAINING WHILE STUDYING WITH MASTER TEACHERS IN THE HEART OF NYC
New York Teen Shakespeare Intensive is extremely excited to be returning to in-person training in the summer of 2025. The three-week course offers College Audition Prep, Physical Technique for the Actor, Linklater Voice Technique, Clown,
and as always, Shakespeare’s Text.

Curriculum
SHAKESPEARE’S TEXT: Participants will discover their personal connection to the text and then build upon that with the use of Shakespeare's rhetoric and poetry as an actor's tool to unlock new meaning within the text.
COLLEGE AUDITION PREP: Equipping the Actor with Shakespeare monologues required by all dramatic training programs. Preparing them with the confidence and ability to record proper and effective self-tape auditions from home.
VOICE & MOVEMENT FOR THE ACTOR: A cross pedagogy to enhance the actors' instrument physically, vocally and experientially in relationship to character and heightened text.
CLOWN: Through a series of games and exercises, based in Classical Clown Training, we will provoke and stoke the dynamo that makes you compelling, beautiful, astounding, ridiculous, and clarifies why the performer stands in the light and the audience sits in the dark.
