PERFORMANCE RESIDENCIES:
During a performance residency, students participate in a full rehearsal process, scheduled in condensed form.
Taking on the role of performers, students are guided to experience the text from the inside: analyzing and synthesizing meaning from Shakespeare's words, considering character motive and relationships, and developing a character interpretation which they express for an audience in a rehearsed and memorized final performance.
Our experienced teaching artists provide guidance and insight as students go from page to stage.
Distinct five and ten day program options.

WORKSHOPS:
HELP STUDENTS GET HANDS ON WITH SHAKESPEARE'S TEXT.
Short workshops are designed to help students focus on a specific area of understanding in Shakespeare's works.
Theses workshops may not be as physically active as our Theme-Based or Performance-Based Residencies, so if space, noise, or time are a concern for your classroom, this is a great way to bring some excitement to your Shakespeare unit!
