Shakespeare in Performance

Course Overview:

Our summer goal is to get students excited about Shakespeare in a fun, low-pressure way by experiencing the texts as performers rather than approaching them strictly as academic material. Through reading aloud, movement, discussion, and performance-based activities, students will actively engage with Shakespeare’s language and characters so they feel more confident—and far less intimidated—when they encounter his work during the school year.

We will use Shakespeare writings to explore, with an emphasis on scenes that lend themselves well to performance, interpretation, and creative exploration. The focus will be on collaboration, understanding character and language through action, and discovering how relevant and enjoyable Shakespeare can be.
