Macbeth
Touring: September 2018 - April 2019
Performance: 45 minutes
Workshops: 50 minutes
Grades: 6+
Macbeth wants to be king, but what will it take to get there? Pressured by three witches, he and his wife suppress their "human kindness" in favor of a violent path - with devastating consequences.
Workshops will focus on the relationship between empathy and violence, using roleplay scenarios from the play to practice creative alternatives to violence.
CSF is also touring Twelfth Night for grades 3-5.
Shakespeare & Violence Prevention
Colorado Shakespeare Festival’s touring program uses live performance and the latest school violence research. Students improve their Shakespeare literacy AND learn safe and effective intervention strategies they can use when they see mistreatment happening around them.
How does it work? Professional actors from CSF perform an abridged Shakespeare play onsite at your school (no field trips required), followed by classroom workshops that help students connect situations in the play to situations they face every day. Students can step into the shoes of characters from the play and roleplay creative solutions.
Pricing: $650-$1200
Subsidies available for qualified schools.
