Education Improvement Partnership
At the core of all our education work is an extensive programme of workshops run with the Southwark Education Improvement Partnership (Excellence in Cities). This long-running programme creates tailor-made Arts projects for Primary and Secondary schools. The project offers either:
- 6 weeks of workshops in support of the curriculum and the National Literacy Strategy, planned and delivered with teachers
- An Artist in Residence placed in the school for the period of one year
Each project is designed
to meet a school's specific need.
(These workshops are open only to schools that are members of EIP)
Shakespeare for Schools: Take your class for free!
Every year, we
present a Shakespeare play in the theatre and offer free tickets to all Southwark
and Lambeth schools. We also offer an education pack and workshops in school
as part of the package.
Last year, we ran the Better Bankside Award for young theatre-makers
for the first time. The winners, Daniel Goldman and Donnacaidh O'Brain, directed
Richard
III for our 2007-2008 production.This year in February, the Shakespeare
for Schools production was A
Midsummer Nights Dream. Directed by Jonathan Man, the play was
set in Samurai Japan and well received by both audience and press. The next
Shakespeare for Schools production is planned for February 2010. Please keep
checking the website for updates.
