EDUCATION KITS AVAILABLE TO SCHOOLS
ATTENDING A PRODUCTION
Kits have been created to support schools engagement and build
connections with different Schools and Drama syllabi. The kits include
information sheets on Shakespeare and Hamlet, with discussion prompts
about the production and The Listies, to provide students context before
they experience the show.
Each kit will also include follow-up discussion points, workshop, and
drama activities to extend the experience for school groups.
POST PERFORMANCE IN-SCHOOL WORKSHOPS
Alongside the national tour of Hamlet: Prince of
Skidmark, Critical Stages Touring will be offering the
opportunity of a post-show in-school workshop. This
will be the ideal follow up to the production, with the
focus on inspiring students to develop their own ideas
for a ‘Shakespeare-remixed’ performance.
This will work especially well for any students studying
Shakespeare (or any classic text) within their classroom,
and this text can be the leaping-off point for imaginative
exercises, devising and improvisation activities,
culminating in presentation of short scenes.
Two 120-minute workshops are available to assist young
people to:
− Be inspired by live performance;
− Explore their own creative imagination;
− Use classic texts as a launching off point for their
imaginative exercises;
− Learn about improvisation and devising skills;
− Present short scenes in small groups at the end
of the workshop.
