Shakespeare Interactive Workshops

By Emily Mattina
Grades 6-12

Shakesperience’s signature series of in-class Shakespeare workshops is designed with several versions for various age and experience levels.  Two actors demonstrate a honed teaching style to make the text accessible to all students.  They lead the class through Shakespeare's language and times, literary devices, and universally themed 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. Rather than condescending to the students, Shakesperience invites them to rise to the level of the language.

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, social studies, and theatre learning standards. A study guide with pre- and post-show activities accompanies the program.

Testimonial

"Last year you came to Our Lady of Fatima to do
an interactive workshop for 6th, 7th and 8th grade. The children loved it.
This year my eighth graders have asked and begged for you to come back."
