What do Shakespeare’s plays have to say about the world we live in today, about social justice, corrupt government, violence in society, etc? And how has he impacted playwrights who are writing today? We’ll not only take a deep-dive into some of Shakespeare’s most controversial works – including those works that some presume racist, anti-Semitic, sexist, or irrelevant  – and dig into what a modern audience can learn from them, but explore contemporary playwrights who were inspired (or angered) by what Shakespeare had to say 400 years ago …

The works of Shakespeare are filled with song. As always, students will spend their days discovering Shakespeare using a variety of physical and vocal disciplines – with the ultimate purpose always to invoke the creative spirit that exists in every child. But for this special week, we will pay special emphasis to the plays where his words are accompanied with music and dancing.

Participants need not be singers/dancers – each child will have the opportunity to explore within his/her comfort zone, and encouraged to reach outside of it when ready!

For 2nd through 8th grade (Fall 2019)
