Shakespeare in Schools
FROM MULTI AWARD WINNING THEATRE COMPANY GUNA NUA AND AWARD WINNING DIRECTOR LIAM HALLIGAN COMES AN INNOVATIVE AND INTERACTIVE EVENT FOR SECONDARY SCHOOL STUDENTS.
Liam Halligan, a team of actors, and a box of costume pieces and props will replicate for your students a rehearsal room for Shakespeare's plays.
Students will be introduced to the language structure, to character interpretation and scene work; to the given circumstances; character motivation; the possible social and political context and the challenges of the text for present day actors. Your students will then be encouraged facilitated to ask questions and to make suggestions, to effectively direct the scene. The actors will take these questions and suggestions on board and replay the scene accordingly, to sometimes powerful and sometimes comic effect.
Engagement with your students is our principal concern. We achieve this through performance,reminding ourselves at all times that William Shakespeare was primarily a working professional actor and writer.
