Shakespeare and the Language
that Shaped a WorldA whirlwind tour through the life, times, and work of William Shakespeare, led by six actors equipped with six stools, a little historical information, and scenes from many of his greatest plays. This energetic, fast-paced peek into Shakespeare's world and Elizabethan life was created by Kevin G. Coleman, Director of Education at Shakespeare & Company. It is a fun, accessible introduction to Shakespeare with enough depth to please students who have already studied The Bard. Workshop in PerformanceOur teaching artists work closely with a small group of students to unleash an exciting, immediate, and personal experience of Shakespeare's language, which they quickly make their own in the acting process. Students' ideas and interpretations are incorporated and woven into the final scene sharing. In this workshop, each student can succeed and discover that Shakespeare is accessible, outrageous, and immediately engaging. They also perceive their classmates in new and delightful ways. This workshop is about taking risks while discovering the playfulness of acting. Success is genuinely earned. Available plays are: Macbeth, Hamlet, Romeo & Juliet, Julius Caesar, and A Midsummer Night's Dream. Grade level:Grades 4-12
