Shakespeare made new as if by alchemy...Professor Johnson QLD Uni, President Australia and NZ Shakespeare Association
Just magic...Tim James, MP Commendation in NSW Parliament
Let the Come You Spirits theatre troupe take over your classroom for an unforgettable session of dynamic performance and deep dive discussion. Three professional actors from our acclaimed touring production of Romeo & Juliet come on-site to meet your students wherever they're at. Our people provide a feast of personalised scene work, critical exploration to fire the imagination, and give you and your students the fuel to interrogate and respond to these texts with confidence.
We bring:
• An initial rapid fire phone call with you - the teacher and expert in what your students' needs are - to understand your focus for the module and the sticking points of your cohort.
• A personalised structure designed by our Education Director Jo Bloom who holds a Postgrad in the Teaching of Shakespeare, has a rich understanding of the NSW Syllabus and brings 18 years experience of Shakespeare in Education across UK and Australia.
• The flexibility to personalise the experience to meet your individual learning goals, either as an opportunity to view, hear, and interpret these texts for the first time, or to further investigate after weeks with the material.
• Three professional actors who have been playing the roles professionally for over 12 months, all with many years of experience in the classroom.
• Supporting materials and notes provided.
• We can pair this experience with our full-blown production on school grounds giving the opportunity for an extended Q+A and student participation, and to talk about the power of courageous interpretations and adaptations of Shakespeare, and sustainable practices in theatre making.
