Shakespeare Consulting
While SWTP does not have a formal education department, we offer something very different amongst the hoards of Shakespeare company education programs. We call it Shakespeare consulting. This means that your Shakespeare education comes to you, in whatever form you desire!
Are you interested in a workshop for teachers? Or maybe audition prep for your students? Need a Dramaturg? Or how about someone to just sit in on a rehearsal or two? We do it all. Our resident Shakespeare expert (otherwise known as our Artistic Director) will help tailor a lecture or workshop to suit your needs. Just hop on over to the CONTACT US page of this site and let us know what you need!
Here are just a few examples of what we've already put together:
Resident Expert/Dramaturg, Made Up Theatre Shakespeare Improv Troupe, May 2014
Made Up Theatre, an improv troupe, is starting up a Shakespeare branch to their
improv line-up and hired me to be the resident expert and outside eye for the
troupe. My duties include helping the actors use Early Modern English correctly,
watching rehearsals, and being the dramaturg on-site.
Guest Lecturer, Advanced Drama, Mr. deMelo, Ann Sobrato High School, Nov. 2013, Nov. 2014
To give his students background on the other playwrights of the Early Modern
period, Mr. deMelo brought me in give them a lecture on everyone from Christopher
Marlowe to Thomas Dekker.
Workshop Leader, Shakespeare’s Staging Conditions: Romeo and Juliet, April 2011
American Shakespeare Center Education Director, Sarah Enloe, three members of
my Romeo and Juliet cast and I trekked out to St. Thomas Aquinas Middle School in
Washington DC. We led an hour-long workshop on staging Shakespeare, starting
with a breakdown of the Prologue and ending with staging clues within the title
character’s deaths.
Lecturer, American Shakespeare Center Teacher Seminar Series, May 2010
Through a staging of Act 1, Scene 5 of Romeo and Juliet, I guided high school teachers
through a new way to engage their students in the play, the language, and an Early
Modern Pavan.
Guest Lecturer, ENG 102: Effective Writing, Dr. Stanley Galloway, Bridgewater College, April 1, 2010
Fellow scholar Cass Morris and I spent a class period with Dr. Galloway’s students right
after they finished reading Romeo and Juliet. We taught them about the dichotomy of
Comedy and Tragedy within the play.
