Shakespeare Studies and Performance! 
I have been working as a theatre maker for three decades.  ShakesKIDS! Is a multi-aged, arts integrated, differentiated learning experience. ShakesKIDS! works with youth helping each participant find their authentic expression of self through the embodiment of the works of William Shakespeare; creating points of contact to the collective evolution of humanity and each citizen’s responsibility to shape it. Sparking the FUN and JOY of learning. The Subjects: Voice and Speech, Diction, Movement, Theatre Games, Shakespeare’s Life and Times, and Language Arts. We work every day introducing text analysis through the exploration Iambic Pentameter.

​Here is a quote about ENSEMBLE THEATRE by the RSC:
“Ensemble theatre was the principle way of working for the actor companies of Shakespeare’s day. At the Royal Shakespeare company we define ourselves as an ensemble: a group of people engaged in a collaborative act of enquiry around the work we create. In the classroom, an ensemble approach encourages pupils to:
●  Work as a mutually supportive group.
●  Build a cumulative, collaborative understanding of the play.
●  Listen to and respect each other’s ideas and opinions.
●  Allow for difference.”
