Shakespeare and Social Justice

The main goal of our Shakespeare and Social Justice workshops and/or residencies is to complement the teaching of the works of the Bard by incorporating supplemental topics with a laser focus on social justice. Our goal is to empower students to take Shakespeare “off of his pedestal” and feel confident in amplifying their connections and contributions as they relate to his works. We aim to do this but using rehearsal style exercises and analysis with the possible addition of interactive performance with professional actors.
