Secondary Workshop- Romeo and Juliet
THIS WORKSHOP IS DESIGNED TO BE A CONTINUATION OF LAST YEAR’S SHAKESPEARE WORKSHOP. YOU DON’T NEED TO HAVE DONE LAST YEAR’S WORKSHOP TO DO THIS ONE. YOU ALSO DON’T NEED TO KNOW THE PLAY TO DO THIS WORKSHOP.
2.30pm – 4.30pm
Ages 11 – 15
We believe our journey with Shakespeare should start young. Bell Shakespeare’s Intro to Shakespeare Primary workshop is designed to immerse students in Shakespeare through playful and interactive storytelling. Our teaching artists will take young students on a two-hour narrative journey in an introduction to Shakespeare’s ‘Romeo and Juliet.’ Students will learn about character, language techniques, and expanding vocabulary. We’ll intersperse creative and critical thinking activities throughout so you can continue to explore Shakespeare long after we’ve gone. Most importantly, we will deliver an entertaining, engaging and informative Shakespeare immersion that will have students on their feet, speaking and playing with Shakespeare.
This workshop has been very kindly subsidised by Bell Shakespeare
Maximum number of participants – 25
Workshop will be held at Bell Shakespeare premises – Pier 2/3, Walsh Bay Arts Precinct, Hickson Road, Dawes Point (in between The Rocks and Barangaroo)
Please note: an accompanying adult and younger (non-participating) siblings are permitted to attend as audience but need to be very quiet (noises, even whispers, carry and can be disruptive). We strongly suggest that if you have younger children, that you sit outside the room with them as it is difficult for them to be quiet and sit still for the two hours of the workshop. If you want a chat, then there are tables and chairs outside the workshop room or outside the pier with beautiful views of the Harbour and lots of restaurants/cafes. Once you are inside the workshop room, we respectfully ask that you not move from there as this can be very disruptive for the teacher(s) and the workshop participants.
