Secret Shakespeare
Unlock Shakespeare's text as an actor. Use the patterns he writes into the text to understand and embody the jokes, the characters, the play of the texts. Younger grades will work with plot lines and commedia characters as a key to understand a play; older students will work with personal texts. They may also work from memorised lines for a deeper level of work.

My Life, My Story
Students will explore the elements of drama to create short performances from their own experiences. Students will gain better self-presentation skills, a stronger sense of narrative, and reflect on how telling their own stories presents them to the wider world. They will explore questions such as: what high points will they share? What struggles absorb them? How do they view the global picture? Students will express themselves through movement, dialogue, music and sound, and may create videos using their own devices.
