Hands-On Shakespeare
A great way to inspire your
students is to get inspired yourself!
 Hands-On
Shakespeare is the Festival’s exciting three-day
weekend workshop for teachers who want to enhance
their instruction of Shakespeare and drama. Scholars
and theater professionals interact with teachers in
a relaxed, open and collaborative environment. Together
they explore ways to develop skills that enable teachers
to return to their classrooms with renewed vigor and
enhanced confidence.
Performance-oriented techniques highlight Hands-On
Shakespeare’s efforts to make learning as exciting
and productive as possible.
Here is what past participants have said about the
workshop:
 |
"So extraordinarily well done! Effectiveness
and good humor are a rare combination, and your
kindness and consideration to boot made it a great
pleasure. All the material was new to me, and
I think I ‘got’ most of it. I feel
as though I’ve been given a great gift." |
|
"This was a superb experience! Practical material,
well-prepared and presented" |
|
"The seminar was highly valuable. Instructors
were well-prepared and enthusiastic. Do it again!
Do it again!" |
|
"When I first heard about the workshop I was
hesitant. I lack acting experience. From the first
moment of contact I felt invited. Activities were
informative, fun, and I feel confident enough
to try some of the activities." |
Hands-On Shakespeare provides 16 to 20 contact hours,
which teachers may wish to apply toward CEU accreditation.

NCSF renovates Spirit Center, its new central operations
facility located at the corner of W. Ward and Green
Streets in High Point.)
