Folklore Interactive Workshops

By Dan Ciba and Tony Murvin
Grades 3-7

Shakesperience’s new signature series of in-class Folklore workshops is designed to educate students on Fables, Folktales and Myths from various cultures.  Two actors demonstrate a honed teaching style to bring modern adaptations of these classic tales.  They lead the class in scenes featuring student performers.

This small group access to the Shakesperience Teaching Approach, and the balance of workshop and performance, allow for the highest levels of inclusiveness. This unique format permits the celebration of the spoken language and empowers students with confidence and public speaking skills.
The cost of the program brings our artists to your school for five, 45 minute workshops, all incorporated into the school's schedule. Each session is presented with substantial ties to language arts and theatre learning standards.

Testimonial

"The Folklore Workshop was enriching and engaging to all students. Students truly enjoyed becoming a part of the production, as well as seeing fables, folktales and legends come to life. The performers brought a healthy blend of humor and artistic expression that really created a nice dramatic effect. [They] really served as great role models, conveying the idea that literature can be fun!"
