Course Description
Teaching Shakespeare Through Performance
July 2-20, 2018
Take your teaching of Shakespeare to another level. Go beyond the Bard's words on the page and discover Shakespeare in the context that brought his works to life. Our three-week summer course at Shakespeare's Globe is the best way to learn to teach Shakespeare. This invaluable experience will give you new perspectives that will elevate you as a teacher of Shakespeare.
This program is ideally suited for inquisitive, adventurous English Language Arts teachers willing to work outside their comfort zone. Although participants engage with Shakespeare's work as texts to be performed, not simply read, "Teaching Shakespeare Through Performance" is not an acting program. The course is delivered with the knowledge that ELA teachers may have training or experience with performance-based methods of teaching Shakespeare. Applicants must be currently working as classroom teachers.
- Read more on the Shakespeare's Globe website!
- As You Like It, Hamlet, and The Winter's Tale will be on the stage at the Globe this summer and will be studied by the group.
- Review a schedule from summer 2017 for information on the structure of the course.
