Give your students an active, immersive experience of Shakespeare’s plays in their own classroom. Our teaching artists guide students through a practical, English/Drama blended exploration of one of Shakespeare’s plays.
Over two hours, teaching artists will activate language analysis, themes, key discussion points, scene work and character analysis, with the whole class on their feet. We will design a playful and powerful approach to the play to ensure deep learning and real engagement with the text.
Ideal for junior to middle secondary, Student Workshops can be tailored to focus on specific aspects of Shakespeare’s plays to meet your students’ level of experience with the play and Shakespeare.
Simply complete the workshop preparation form to let us know what you want to focus on, and what your aims are for the workshop experience.
