Description
Releasing text from rules and perceived ways of ‘how it should be done’ Barbara works directly with the text ‘as behaviour’ – allowing the text to ‘feed’ you and your imagination to create performances which feel fresh and relevant and at the same time allow you to handle text with confidence and ease.
Bring any piece of text with which you’d like more confidence – could be Shakespeare, another Classical text or something more modern or even a song.
“Barbara was vital to the success of our all-female trilogy. Her unique combination of technical know-how, passion and openness helped each of us with such different experiences, accents and backgrounds to express our own personal connection with Shakespeare’s language.” – Harriet Walter
