Department of Theatre Arts & Dance Hosts Royal Shakespeare Company in a Three-Day Residency

The event will take place from April 23-26, 2023 at Rarig Center, the University of Minnesota Twin Cities campus. The residency aims to lay the foundations for a developmental partnership between the RSC and the BFA Actor Training Program.

The Royal Shakespeare Company, based in Stratford-upon-Avon, is recognized globally for its innovative and diverse approaches to the Shakespearean legacy and contemporary plays. Their world-class training programs serve more than half a million young people and adults, and support partnerships with academic institutions across the United Kingdom and the world. The RSC’s mission is “to ensure that Shakespeare is for everyone, unlocking the power of his plays and live performance.”

This three-day residency will consist of workshops, panels, and opportunities to see the RSC's inspiring pedagogy in action. It will provide invaluable insight into the artistic processes at the core of the company's many groundbreaking productions. The events are open to theater makers, actors, educators, and audiences from the University of Minnesota and the Twin Cities theatre community.

Public events are free with registration required.
