How do his plays and poems continue to connect with our thoughts and emotions, projecting them as words and performances, giving them a different life though languages and images that we do not experience every day? What do Shakespeare\u2019s plays and poems have to say on questions of love or on war (in the 400<sup>th<\/sup> anniversary of the outbreak of WWI)? On parents and children? Family networks? On national identity? How do we get &#8216;into&#8217; Shakespeare through books, pictures, music, film and television screens? Our workshops are designed to involve students actively in exploring issues like these.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>During the Lancaster Season of Shakespeare, a group of Professors and PhD students carried out free, interactive workshops at eleven schools. The workshops aimed to\u00a0offer fun and fresh interpretations of Shakespeare,\u00a0providing an enriching forum in which students had the freedom to perform and interact with the texts in new ways. The focus of the workshops were on Shakespearean genres, Shakespeare and Love, Shakespeare&#8217;s Language and Practical Drama. Each school specified which workshops they thought would benefit their students most and from this we tailored each workshop to the required play and curriculum. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>Please click on the following links to read the fantastic feedback we received, if you have any questions about future workshops please contact<\/strong><span style=\"color: #333333;font-style: normal;line-height: 24px\">\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"mailto:daviesh@exchange.lancs.ac.uk\">Helen Davies<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"color: #00ccff\"><span style=\"color: #00ccff\"><span style=\"color: #00ff00\"><a href=\"http:\/\/wp.lancs.ac.uk\/shakespeare\/lancaster-season-of-shakespeare\/workshops\/workshop-reviews\/\"><span style=\"color: #00ff00\">Solihull Sixth Form College<\/span><\/a><\/span>\u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"color: #ff9900\"><a href=\"http:\/\/wp.lancs.ac.uk\/shakespeare\/lancaster-season-of-shakespeare\/workshops\/lancaster-girls-grammar-school\/\"><span style=\"color: #ff9900\">Lancaster Girls&#8217; Grammar School<\/span><\/a>\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"color: #ff6600\"><a href=\"http:\/\/wp.lancs.ac.uk\/shakespeare\/lancaster-season-of-shakespeare\/workshops\/queen-katherine-school\/\"><span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Queen Katherine School<\/span><\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000\"><a href=\"http:\/\/wp.lancs.ac.uk\/shakespeare\/lancaster-season-of-shakespeare\/workshops\/queen-elizabeth-school\/\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000\">Queen Elizabeth School<\/span><\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"color: #800080\"><a href=\"http:\/\/wp.lancs.ac.uk\/shakespeare\/lancaster-season-of-shakespeare\/workshops\/lancaster-boys-grammar-school\/\"><span style=\"color: #800080\">Lancaster Boys&#8217; Grammar School<\/span><\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"color: #333399\"><a href=\"http:\/\/wp.lancs.ac.uk\/shakespeare\/lancaster-season-of-shakespeare\/workshops\/morecambe-community-high-school\/\"><span style=\"color: #333399\">Morecambe Community High School<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/wp.lancs.ac.uk\/shakespeare\/lancaster-season-of-shakespeare\/workshops\/saint-bernadettes-primary-school\/\">Saint Bernadette&#8217;s Primary School<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"color: #00ff00\"><a href=\"http:\/\/wp.lancs.ac.uk\/shakespeare\/lancaster-season-of-shakespeare\/workshops\/bowerham-primary-school\/\"><span style=\"color: #00ff00\">Bowerham Primary School<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"color: #ff9900\"><a href=\"http:\/\/wp.lancs.ac.uk\/shakespeare\/lancaster-season-of-shakespeare\/workshops\/ridge-community-primary-school\/\"><span style=\"color: #ff9900\">Ridge Community Primary School<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"color: #ff6600\"><a href=\"http:\/\/wp.lancs.ac.uk\/shakespeare\/lancaster-season-of-shakespeare\/workshops\/cardinal-newman-college\/\"><span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Cardinal Newman College<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000\"><a href=\"http:\/\/wp.lancs.ac.uk\/shakespeare\/lancaster-season-of-shakespeare\/workshops\/ripley-st-thomas-school\/\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000\">Ripley St Thomas School<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Why does Shakespeare still matter?
