We\u00a0ran a series of three workshops on Taming of the Shrew <\/em>at Ripley St Thomas, using\u00a0practical drama, contextual materials\u00a0on early modern views of marriage including John Fletcher’s ‘sequel’ The Tamer Tamed, <\/em>and work\u00a0on early modern clothing and costume and costume design. We were thrilled to work with such\u00a0intelligent, imaginative and intuitive\u00a0students and to welcome some of them to\u00a0a screening of the Globe production at the\u00a0Dukes Theatre and to an\u00a0abridged production Pocket-Sized Shrew <\/em>at Lancaster Castle.\u00a0Teacher Stephanie Mitchell commented on how well the workshops had helped with understanding – and with the controlled assessment, an endorsement which made our endeavours during the Season of Shakespeare really worthwhile:<\/p>\n

‘The students found that the active approaches really helped them to understand how the text should be read and responded to.\u00a0 They thought that the acting out of the scenes was fun and enabled them to think about how characters interact with one\u00a0another which brought alive the words on the page’.<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
‘The content of the sessions really linked well with our Controlled Assessment and provided relevant supporting detail that linked to the text and the question they’ll be answering.\u00a0 Several of\u00a0 them had\u00a0 moments where ‘the penny dropped’ and they could make the connections between the\u00a0Shakespeare text, the context and the poetry we’ve been studying.\u00a0 It’s a real positive for them to have another voice telling them information and, as the teacher, I really enjoyed rediscovering my love\u00a0of learning too’.<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
‘I can thoroughly recommend\u00a0this experience, it was relevant and hassle free with excellent quality delivery’.<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/div>\n
