Hands On Shakespeare
Introducing One Day/One Play workshops - an opportunity for educators to get up close and personal with the works of The Bard!
 Designed to assist the busy educator in both "having a life" and continuing to grow and develop his/her skills in teaching Shakespeare, the One Day/One Play series of workshops (will be offered in 2009 on select Saturdays, 12:00-6:00 PM, at Spirit Center in High Point), making attendance a convenient choice for both local and commuting educators.
Shakespeare wrote his plays to be performed, never dreaming that they would become the revered classic literature of scholars and English students around the world, so let's put the play back in Shakespeare. Utilizing the staging practices of Shakespeare's theatre, we'll unearth the theatrical nuts and bolts of Shakespeare's world and put these principles to use in a relaxed, collaborative, environment. Working with NCSF teaching artists, participants will discover effective ways to bring students into an experience of the aliveness and relevancy of Shakespeare's language and characters, discovering first-hand the confidence and deep understanding of Shakespeare's texts that working "on your feet" can offer!
Inspire yourself and you'll inspire your students!
Each session will provide six contact hours, which teachers may wish to apply toward CEU accreditation.

Here is what participants have said about past Hands On Shakespeare workshops:
|
"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." |
