In this week long camp, learners will explore the world of Shakespeare and put on their own performance of Macbeth.

Class experience

This class is taught in English.
Learners will learn an overview of Shakespeare's life and theatre during the Elizabethan era. They will also learn and practice the skills needed to bring a theatre show from the script to the stage. 
I am a youth theatre director experienced in helping youth bring plays to life. I also hold a degree in English Literature and Theatre from the University of British Columbia. During my degree, I took many courses on theatre and literature in the Elizabethan era and on Shakespeare in particular. 
Homework Offered
Learners may need to spend some time outside of class rehearsing their script.
1 - 2 hours per week outside of class
Assessments Offered
Learners will receive a personalized certificate recognizing one of their strengths at the end of the camp week. They will also receive oral feedback designed to enhance their performance throughout the camp week.
Grades Offered
Learners will need paper, a pencil and an eraser. They will also need to gather costumes and props from around their homes for use during the performance. The camp script will be provided a few days prior to the beginning of camp. 
A condensed and youth-friendly version of Macbeth will be used in camp. Any frightening or intense themes in the play will be discussed in an age-appropriate manner. 
A youth-friendly, condensed and royalty free version of Macbeth will be used as the camp script. The specific script will be chosen closer to the beginning of camp, so that it will fit well with the learners in the camp. 

Information about Shakespeare and Elizabethan theatre will be inspired by the following sources. It will also be informed by university courses that I have completed about Shakespeare, such as courses by Katherine Sirluck at the University of British Columbia.
