    Hotspur is an advanced martial artist. She likes beating the fuzz out of bags. Occasionally she wants to beat the fuzz out of Shakespeare because he’s so complicated. She’s really good at dying on stage. The histories are her favorite because of all the stage combat and use of sharp objects.

    SHAKESPEARE FOR ALL

    Working with Shakespeare in education frightens many. Because Shakespeare experts, including professionals, surround us. Escaping them is difficult. This can be intimidating. Thus, feelings of dread usually accompany the act of presenting, but moreover be introduced to, the Bard.

    For this reason, ImprovEd Shakespeare is here to help. Founder and Director, Andee Kinzy, offers the layman’s approach to Shakespeare.
