SHAKESPEARE AND HIS STAGE: CULTURAL, SEMINAR FOR TEACHERS AT SHAKESPEARE’S GLOBE, LONDON
SUNDAY 8 – SATURDAY 14 AUGUST 2010 ( INCLUSIVELY )
This one-week course at Shakespeare’s Globe will provide teachers equivalent to British secondary school level insights into the crafts involved in creating a production for the Globe Theatre. Local teachers of a range of subjects in the Humanities at both secondary and tertiary levels, many of whom are directly involved with the running of the English-Speaking Union ‘s overseas networks, will work with Globe Education staff to explore practical approaches to teaching Shakespeare creatively in the classroom.
Delegates will attend three of the Globe’s productions. They will meet and work with members of the Globe Theatre Company to explore how productions at the Globe are conceived and mounted. Delegates will also have the opportunity to discuss the place of Shakespeare in their respective countries and classrooms.
Teachers attending this course should have experience of teaching Shakespeare in the classroom and an interest in participating in a course with the following aims:
· To consider how the discoveries being made at the Globe Theatre can inform our understanding of Shakespeare in performance and our approaches to teaching Shakespeare in the classroom.
· To explore the relationship the Globe architecture creates between actor and audience and to consider how it can inform our understanding of the relationship between teacher and student within the classroom.
· To consider how Shakespeare is translated both in terms of performance and classroom curricula across the world.
Teachers – perhaps better than anyone – know the challenges involved in bringing texts to life. For twenty years, Globe Education has worked with teachers to develop new and exciting ways of exploring Shakespeare’s works. We seek to create active, practical approaches to Shakespeare that will inspire, enhance and develop classroom practice – and bring Shakespeare’s words to life through ‘the soul of lively action’.
We are pleased to announce that for 2010, Mrs Anitah Aujayeb of Gaetan Raynal State College has been awarded the part scholarship for the Globe Cultural Seminar and will therefore represent ESU-Mauritius
