Attendees will learn rehearsal room approaches to analyzing and interpreting drama, specifically Shakespeare. These techniques can be applied to other works of literature as well.
We will start with theater games to warm up and build energy, then walk to closely read a text, followed by using groups to read and stage a scene.
Attendees will take away three activities they can use in English for teaching Shakespeare, poetry, or any play or monologue (plus warmups that are great for extra time at the end of a class period or for a brain break).
