DTH 2665 SHAKESPEARE WITH YOUNG PEOPLE
The course is predicated on the idea that for children, even as young as 4 or 5, Shakespeare offers unparalleled opportunities for growth in speech and language development, expansion of the creative and thinking processes, appreciation of character, narrative and thematic material, and skills and confidence in performance. Students will study Shakespearean texts for appropriate applications to young people, as well as various theories related to literature and child development, and in the studio, learn a series of exercises and creative strategies designed to support the aims of the course. Prerequisite: Creative Process.
