Here are some of the fantastic things teachers across the country have planned:

“We would like to celebrate through the whole school. Nursery and Pre-school will be making their own donkey ears and masks. KS1 and KS2 will be staging extracts from the play.”St Mary's Catholic Primary, Broadway

“Mischief and mayhem, magic and muse! To help us understand and enjoy Shakespeare we will play and experiment, dance and sing, talk and listen, make and design, read and write - having fun all the way.”St Johns Catholic Primary School, Poulton

“We will put on a play in a day, out on the grass (please no rain!), with school musicians, pupil and staff choirs, props, paint and (maybe) glitter. Teachers will sport ill-conceived fairy outfits and be bossed around by their Year 8 production team.”Mount Kelly, Tavistock

“Creating a bilingual production of the play in Welsh and English working with years 7, 8 and 9.”Ysgol morgan llwyd, Wrexham

"A week of fun, fairies and fantasy in the Spring of 2016 where the joy of language, performance and drama will bounce off the walls in our school!"St Thomas C.E Primary, Stoke

Help us to build a Young Shakespeare Nation

Nearly 1000 schools have now joined RSC Dream Team

and downloaded our FREE resources on A Midsummer Night’s Dream including:

★30 and 60 minute edits of the play

★A specially composed score

suitable for all ages and abilities

★Lots of guidance on staging the play, including directing, design and music

Whether you feature A Midsummer Night’s Dream in just one lesson,

create a magical Athenian wood in your playgroundor put on a full production,

every school can get involved.

Over the last 10 years we have worked with over 1 million children and our experience is that young people – regardless of age, background or perceived ability – relish the challenge of Shakespeare’s work.Shakespeare understood perhaps better than anyone the power that language has to persuade, influence and ultimately shape the world we live in. That power is available to everyone and the earlier we are introduced to it the more it becomes an integral part of our lives. 2016 provides a unique opportunity to help more children feel like the Year Six pupil who told us with complete conviction that she can no longer imagine a world without Shakespeare.

In 2016, to mark the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare’s death, we are offering more ways into his work than ever before. Alongside initiatives like RSC Dream Team 2016, we are delighted to announce new partnerships designed to inspire more young people through Shakespeare. Teaching Shakespeare, a website from TES, sees us collaborate with the V&A, the British Museum, the BFI and Into Film, to create an unparalleled collection of cross-artform resources. We have worked

in partnership with the British Council on the Shakespeare Lives booklet sent to all UK schools earlier this year, and from March we are delighted to be working with the BBC on Live Lessons for primary and secondary schools as well as a BBC Bitesize resource.

We have consistently found that giving children access to some of the greatest words ever written has a significant impact on their own reading and writing. We know from primary and secondary school teachers that introducing Shakespeare's work in their classrooms raises the aspirations and achievements of children of all ages and abilities. In the year in which we mark the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare's death this is a timely reminder of the legacy he left behind; an extraordinary inheritance that really does belong to everyone.

Jacqui O'Hanlon, RSC Director of Education





So dear reader, the bit you are probably most interested in: how we actually put on the play.

For the three rehearsal afternoons the children

were in three groups: actors, technical and choir. We had to do this to include each of our 80+ pupils and all were occupied for every rehearsal session.

The choirs were mostly Year 5s and they practised with a teacher and a Learning Support Assistant. They practised from a CD which had a vocal on it but when I heard them during a rehearsal we moved from the vocal CD to the instrumental version as they sounded better than the recorded choir!

The technical group, which was 50% Year 5s and Year 6s, worked with two teachers and the jobs they did included: designing all the posters around the school, designing and making/painting the scenery, making/collecting the props, decorating the fairy wings, designing/printing/selling the tickets, and designing/ printing the programmes. We also had two children operating the CD player in rehearsals and doing the sound effects etc during the performances. Finally the Year 6 pupils operated the front of house and managed the accounts for ticket sales.

After a consultation process with my colleagues we decided to perform a modern dress version to keep down costs and save any extra work because the pupils could provide most of their costumes. The courtiers were formally dressed, and most used the clothes they had worn for their prom. The Lovers were dressed as if they were meeting a boy/

girlfriend at the cinema. The workmen were in jeans, T-shirts and high vis jackets. For the fairies we provided the costumes to give an ‘other-worldly’ feel. The total cost of the production was under £200 and that included £65 for building a scenery frame which we can store and use for future productions. Most of the expenses were the fairies’ wings and the material (we mainly used sheets) for their costumes.

For the staging we have a Q-build system so we had a split stage with the larger stage becoming the woods with scenery fixed to the scenery frame. We had one large stage with a variety of levels and then a smaller stage. The smaller stage was the palace with the

scenery fixed to the PE wall bars. We also had ‘grass effect’ paper around the edges of the stage. We had one block higher for Titania to sleep on so she didn’t get trodden on!

The props are very straightforward so not something to worry about. A flower for Puck and Oberon, a scroll for Peter Quince and the props are listed in the script forthe mechanicals' play. The donkey and lion heads as well as the high vis jackets we scrounged from colleagues. It’s funny who has a donkey and lion’s head hanging about...

WHY WE BROADCAST TO SCHOOLS We know that one of the best ways to experience Shakespeare’s work is to see it live in performance. Over 96,000 students have joined us over our previous seven broadcasts and the response has been overwhelmingly positive.Whether you use the broadcasts as a way of introducing Shakespeare at KS3 or to deepen your students understanding of the work at KS4 and KS5, we look forward to interacting with you.

FOR PRIMARY: SHAKESPEARE UNPLUGGEDFriday 18 March, 11am

Designed to introduce younger pupils to some of Shakespeare's most well-known plays, Shakespeare Unplugged focuses on aspects of Shakespeare's language and characters, and teaches students how to turn those famous words and scenes into a performance or production of their own.

Young people will explore one play from each of the three categories of plays written by Shakespeare, history (Henry V), tragedy (Macbeth) and comedy (A Midsummer Night's Dream) and within them will look at Shakespeare’s use of language, character and scene-setting.

The lesson will feature RSC Director Justin Audibert and RSC actors performing scenes from Shakespeare plays alongside CBBC’s Katie Thistleton and Karim Zeroual with Horrible Histories actress Jessica Ransom as Anne Hathaway.

FOR SECONDARY: SHAKESPEARE – THE TEXT DETECTIVESMonday 25 April, 11am

In this lesson students will become text detectives – unlocking the clues in Shakespeare’s plays that help us understand character relationships, setting and stage action.

The Text Detectives will feature RSC Director Justin Audibert alongside RSC actors performing key scenes and giving insights into their working process.

TEACHING SHAKESPEARE SHAKESPEARE LIVES

Created by TES, the Teaching Shakespeare collections are a result of a cultural partnership with the BFI, the British Museum, Into Film, the RSC and the V&A. Together, we worked to produce an easy-to-navigate library of free resources that are organised in a way that makes sense to teachers and helps them to teach impactful lessons in the classroom.

The content is split into five different areas or approaches to teaching Shakespeare:

• Cultural approaches - Find out how Shakespeare comes to life on stage and in film by exploring art, design, costumes and other historical objects

• Themes - Engage with some of the playwright's universal themes, including conflict and the supernatural, and discover how they can still be relevant today

• Context - Learn about life in Elizabethan times in order to consider how it might have shaped Shakespeare's work

Sent to all UK schools earlier this year, the pack celebrates Shakespeare as a writer who still speaks for all people and nations, addressing big questions and themes about the human experience and what it means to be a citizen in the 21st century. This pack encourages teachers and pupils to engage with some of the key issues, themes and ideas in Shakespeare’s plays, and to explore the ways they remain relevant and current in our lives today, wherever we are in the world.• Genre - Discover how conventions, stock

characters and themes developed across the broad genres of Shakespeare's plays

• Plays - Explore Shakespeare's most widely-taught plays with this selection of creative materials and practical approaches

Explore the resources today at www.tes.com/teachingshakespeare

Teaching Shakespeare provides creative routes into the world of Shakespeare, while helping to bring a selection of his works vividly to life with resources from some of the UK’s major cultural institutions.

The Shakespeare Lives schools’ pack has been created by the British Council in partnership with the Royal Shakespeare Company to mark the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare’s death in 2016.

RSC SCHOOL SHAKESPEARE - AVAILABLE FOR PRE-ORDERWe have worked in partnership with Oxford University Press to produce an exciting new series designed to introduce students to Shakespeare's plays. Using trusted and established RSC approaches and vibrant RSC performance photographs, the series brings Shakespeare's plays to life in the classroom and establishes a deeper understanding and lasting appreciation of his work.

First to be published later this year are Romeo and Juliet, Much Ado About Nothing, Macbeth and A Midsummer Night’s Dream – find out more and pre-order your copies at www.oxfordsecondary.co.uk/rsc

Specially designed to encourage learning across the curriculum, and including an introduction to theatre-based approaches, the resource is split into 5 key themes; Leadership and Power, Family and Relationships, Identity and Equality, Fate and Destiny, Justice and Rules. Within each themed section you will find a wide range of activities for pupils aged 7-14. These can be used as starting points in individual lessons or as elements of a cross-curricular project, which could be carried out with a partner school overseas.

Shakespeare’s plays have been staged many times since they were written over 400 years ago, and there are still so many different ways of interpreting his work. Each interpretation will draw out different themes and ideas.

The Shakespeare Lives Schools’ Pack can be downloaded FREE from www.shakespearelives.co.uk/learn/schools

• The experience of the participants

• The age of children they teach

Teachers tell us that all of the active teaching strategies we offer can be successfully applied to Shakespeare and other complex texts used in English and Literacy.

In addition to supporting active approaches to teaching Shakespeare in the classroom we also offer outreach days that build teachers' skills in creating performance with young people.

Our bespoke student workshops take place in the Clore Learning Centre in Stratford-upon-Avon and can provide your students with a first introduction to a play or offer in-depth exploration of particular scenes, themes and characters. We can tailor them to meet your learning objectives, whether they are to introduce a play to your students, help them prepare for an exam or simply feel more confident prior to seeing the play in performance.

Workshops are led by RSC Education Associate Practitioners, most of whom are RSC actors or directors. All of them have first-hand experience of our rehearsal room approaches.

WHAT HAPPENS IN A WORKSHOP?In our workshops, young people explore the play on their feet, working on the language the way that actors do when they are rehearsing a play for performance. We start with some ice-breaker activities and then move on to working on key scenes and speeches. Sometimes we tell the story of the whole play together.

HOW WILL MY STUDENTS BENEFIT?Our workshops can help young people of all abilities and backgrounds access Shakespeare’s language and develop a greater understanding and enjoyment of his plays. They are designed to complement the Primary and Secondary curriculum with students gaining an insight into Shakespeare as a playwright and exploring how his language is brought to life.

STUDENT WORKSHOPSJoin us for these courses in Stratford-upon-Avon and see how rehearsal room approaches can help your students face the challenges of the new KS3 & 4 curriculum.

WHO ARE WORKSHOPS SUITABLE FOR?We can create workshops for young people of any age from Key Stage 1 to Undergraduate.

KS1: we offer students a dynamic, practical first encounter with Shakespeare’s work. Students will connect with the language and look at themes and play with characters. A perfect first introduction.

KS2: we create workshops that connect students to Shakespeare’s plays, language and characters in a fun, engaging and practical way. Workshops can also focus on developing written outcomes.

KS3: To complement the Key Stage 3 curriculum we can offer an introduction to and exploration of the language, story and characters in an individual play or plays of your choice. The workshop can provide a perfect scaffold for students ahead of their entry into GCSE as it will begin to introduce key skills required for close analysis of the text. If requested a workshop can explore more than one play.

KS4 and 5: practical workshop sessions designed to deepen students’ knowledge and understanding of the play, helping them develop close reading skills and supporting them in their exam preparation.

WHAT PLAYS CAN WE LOOK AT IN OUR WORKSHOP?We can run a workshop on any Shakespeare play or any play currently being performed by the RSC.
