Your materials said, “Life Changing” and I wasn't sure I believed it. I do now. ~ BD Freeman, LA

SHAKESPEARE
I found the exercises almost immediately applicable. I was able to meld things learned previously with new discoveries. Loved that facilitator (Molly Lyons) is a working theatre professional as well as an educator - it gave a focus that was geared to the professional vs the student. Colleen Winton, Vancouver
The idea of interpreting Shakespearean poetry physically thus liberating the head was totally new! Yvonne Adalian, Vancouver
Molly's Shakespeare workshop helped me feel more confident and alive in working with the text. Her methods for bringing the words into my body helped me retain the words and deliver them with new life each time! Louise Carnachan, Seattle
By making actions physical and not just psychological I feel like there are infinitely more possibilities in Shakespeare than I knew before. I also learned (again) to let go of fear. Allowing impulses to drive my work more and to be less self-conscious especially in rehearsal. Adam Berquist, Vancouver
I also felt I gained tremendously in confidence, especially in my movement abilities. Joel Stephanson, Vancouver
Molly's inimitable presence energized the actors and demystified the text in a way that I had never before seen. Her work is a lightning-rod for creativity and dramatic impulse. Her deep passion for Shakespeare and her thorough knowledge of his texts, combined with her generosity of spirit as a human being, make her an incredible teacher and a joy to work with. Adrian Marchuk, Toronto
Molly is a wonderful facilitator. I loved the integration of physical work into the text – feel like it’s inspired me to use my body more in all my work. David Adams, Vancouver
I learned SO much about Shakespeare….that it is accessible. I learned that I can break a text down and "figure it out". I learned the importance of my body and the movement of the text. Jade Shaw, Vancouver
The mystery of Shakespeare has been unlocked and it's a very freeing experience. Richard Eccles, Colorado
Two days, thus 16 very full hours of exploration of….exercises that allowed us to experience a fully engaged body, how to free the voice by freeing the body, iambic pentameter is the essence of Shakespearian rhythm and carries the dialogue on the beat of a heart giving it “life”….The list goes on. An incredible 2 days of wonderfulness. Lorna Quigley, Canada
Molly Lyons totally rocks when it comes to Shakespeare!! Adrian Cho, Conductor-Impressions in Jazz Orchestra, Ottawa, Ontario
