Introduction Key Principles and Ideas Context Core Approaches Language: Inside Out Actor, Stage and Audience Performance Learning Through Shakespeare Conclusion References
This book seeks quite simply to share the many experiences of Shakespeare's Globe Education team of their active approach to teaching students of all ages. The book mixes some theory with lots of examples and practical ideas teachers can take and use for their own lessons.
Fiona Banks is Head of Learning at Globe Education, responsible for the wide variety of training offered to students and teachers from Early Years up to A Level.
I’m pretty impressed with a new book from Bloomsbury about the
Globe’s Education work. In Creative Shakespeare, Fiona Banks
describes the ways in which educational practitioners at the Globe
bring Shakespeare to life for students of all ages . . . It’s
practical and informative . . . give it to all your
director/practitioner/teacher friends for Christmas.
*The Stage*
Creative Shakespeare is not only a book of fantastic teaching
ideas: it’s also a great read for anyone who is interested in
Shakespeare as theatre and Shakespeare in education . . . Just as
the Globe theatre has the potential to bring Shakespeare’s plays to
life for its audiences in this very particular way, so these
workshop techniques have the potential to lift the text in the
classroom from the page in a very powerful way . . . It’s difficult
in this short space to convey a sense of the richness of this book
and of the depth of experience which has produced it. It’s more
than a resource book: it’s a book that every teacher of Shakespeare
should read.
*Teaching English*
An excellent and thorough resource which provides teachers and
directors with a battery of exercises to help students and actors
discover Shakespeare's work through what must surely be highly
enjoyable active learning and exploration.
*Drama Resource*
A rich mixture of discussion, activities, teaching tips, extracts
of text, and commentaries from the Globe Education
practitioners.
*Drama Magazine*
In pedagogy, Fiona Banks’s Creative Shakespeare: The Globe
Education Guide to Practical Shakespeare is a rich resource of
educational tactics for students of all ages, although elementary
and secondary teachers will find it most useful.
*Recent Studies in Tudor and Stuart Drama*
Fiona Banks, a leading member of Globe Education for many years,
approaches the teaching of Shakespeare seriously. There is no
patronizing, no spoonfeeding, but respect for students and their
intellect … Banks expresses the purpose of the book quite clearly,
and anyone who has ever been engaged in this sort of work will
emphatically agree.
