Description:

Shakespeare for Teachers is a unique, interactive professional development workshop presenting educators with exciting methods of engaging students in the words of William Shakespeare. Utilizing the texts of Shakespeare’s most famous plays, The Acting Company offers educators methods of exploring these plays that present them as the living, breathing art of theater – the way Shakespeare was meant to be explored. Engage your students with drama-based exercises perfect for work with the Bard yet applicable across the curriculum. This interactive workshop is ideal for all educators that love Shakespeare, like Shakespeare, have heard of Shakespeare or even have a good, healthy fear of Shakespeare. Watch the words of Shakespeare jump off the page and materialize before your very eyes. Gain an inside look into the actor’s process. See how a professional actor uses the clues Shakespeare has left us in his text to create a character and explore universal themes. The Acting Company and our 37 years of experience on the road and in the schools give us a large “curricular bag of tricks” that we would like to share with you!

“One of the best Educational Theater workshops I’ve been to – by far the best Professional Development workshop I’ve been a part of.”
