Average rating:4.9Number of reviews:(55)
In this ongoing drop-in club, we discuss all things Shakespeare: writing, production, historical context, and even a few mysteries! Participants vote on the topic at each meeting, then we discuss and research for the rest of the hour.
Class experience
"O gentlemen, the time of life is short! To spend that shortness basely were too long, if life did ride upon a dial's point, still ending at the arrival of an hour..."(Henry IV, Part 1, V.iii) But an hour we do have! Whether you are brand new to the bard or you have years and years of experience, enjoy a casual discussion club around all things Shakespeare (and sometimes his peers)!

This class is taught in English.
Students will learn script analysis, critical reading and thinking skills, as well as collaborative planning and research
I hold a BA in Performing and Visual Arts with a focus in Early British Drama and Shakespeare and have won several awards for my work in this field. I have spent over 20 years studying and producing the works of Shakespeare and his contemporaries. I am also a trained gender and sexuality educator, certified facilitator, and active in the Pledge to End Racism and will have access to voices other than my own to educate around sensitive topics. In my classes we use video, audio, and unconventional tools to learn the topic together. I design all of my instruction around first creating a safe space.
Learners may want copies of scripts (if they have them) and a notebook/paper and pen. This is a casual discussion group; however, sometimes really great ideas come up! External resources are also provided for learners to bookmark for easy reference.

This class is for teens only - some of the material can be considered PG-13 due to the sense of humor and ignorance of medicine at the time these plays were written. Additionally, many of Shakespeare's shows contain racist, sexist, antisemitic, ableist, and xenophobic characters and overtones, whether by design or by the playwright's own cultural ignorance. We will not gloss over these topics; rather, we will examine them in the context of the time period as well as our current cultural context(s).
