How It Works

Students and workshop leaders engage in in-depth, explorational activities around a Shakespeare play. (The workshop can involve a play the class has been studying, related to a Shakespeare Now! production, or the teacher's or students' choice). Work and play are combined to stimulate students' responses to Shakespeare's text.

Workshop leaders and students work together to stage and perform the scenes, bringing the text to life through dramatic action. Accompanying the scene work are kinesthetic activities incorporating Shakespeare's use of language and imagery which increase students' comprehension and ownership of the text.
