Description

Teaching and Learning Shakespeare Through Theatre-based Practice by Tracy Irish and Jennifer Kitchen is a comprehensive guide for educators seeking to integrate theatre-based approaches into their Shakespeare teaching. The authors argue that this approach can equip young people with essential skills for an uncertain future, combining intellectual, social, and emotional learning. The book explores the educational principles underlying theatre-based practice, explaining how it can open up possibilities for Shakespeare study in the classroom. It features interviews with leaders and practitioners from various Shakespeare institutions, as well as chapters from classroom teachers who share their experiences of successfully embedding this approach in their teaching. Through its research and experience, the authors provide a nuanced exploration of the role of theatre-based practice in Shakespeare education, offering practical insights for educators working with students aged 5-18.
