Each workshop lasts for two hours and is run by two actors
with teaching knowledge and experience. The aim of the workshop is to progress
through the entire play examining the plot and the relevant characters. The
students take part in physical performance as well as discussion and are
encouraged to contribute ideas throughout. Up to 40 children act out the story
of each play meeting the characters and thinking through the twists and turns
of the plot for themselves, discovering character’s motivations for their
actions and words.
“Worth every penny, not only for the children but also the
staff. Great insight into the work of Shakespeare makes it a much less daunting
task to teach. Excellent!”
English Co-ordinator
There are some physical exercises where the whole group is
active as well as periods when pupils play specific roles within the play. Here
