The International Actors' Fellowship
Shakespeare's Globe offers many ways for international artists to get involved. Over the past years we have run several courses for professional actors, including the International Actors' Fellowship, a unique professional development opportunity for performers from around the world. The recent 2009 Fellowship welcomed actors from the USA, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand and Canada to the Globe. We are currently working on future programmes.

The International Actors' Fellowship
The International Actors' Fellowship is an intense four week programme which aims to introduce this unique theatre space to actors from around the world. 'A stage for the world' is how Sam Wanamaker, the organisation's founder, described the Globe - and there is nothing that brings this to fruition better than The International Fellowship.
Over the four week programme the participants will be under the tutelage of seasoned Globe professionals who will explore technique, voice, movement and verse in response to the special challenges of this playing space. The fellows will be given as much access to the stage as the Theatre Season will allow and there will be opportunity for group and individual tuition onstage. The programme culminates with a masterclass performance on the Globe stage.
Fellowship is designed for up to ten professional theatre artists, preferably with previous experience of classical performance. All participants should be keen to work as part of an international company and relish the opportunity to explore the lessons to be learned from the architecture and their tutors. Past participants have not only enjoyed the technical apprenticeship but the chance to live, work and play in London with peers from all across the world.
‘It was a great honour for me to participate in the International Acting Fellowship and has been a highlight of my career... I made breakthroughs with voice and text work and regained my deep love for live performance. I have been changed by this experience’
