| Summary: | The pedagogy of acting out Shakespeare has been extensive. Less work has been done on how students learn through spectatorship. This element will consider all within the current context of Shakespeare teaching in schools. Using grounded research, it will include work undertaken on a schools National Theatre production of Macbeth, as well as classroom-based, action research, using a variety of digital performances of Shakespeare plays. Both find means of extending student knowledge in unexpected ways through encountering interpretations of Shakespeare that the students had not considered. In reflecting on the practice of watching Shakespeare in an educational context, both at the theater and in the classroom, this Element hopes to offer suggestions for how teachers might rethink the ways in which they present Shakespeare performed to their students particularly as a powerful way of building personal and critical responses to the plays. |
