Enrichment

"We are such stuff as dreams are made on."

SEATTLE SHAKESPEARE Company

is the Puget Sound region’s yearround, professional, classical theatre and is known for their dynamic outreach programming. Through their youth programs, they brought enriching experiences in Shakespeare performance and instruction to HRS in April. In the lower school, seven different workshops gave students the opportunity to experience being an actor. The workshops highlighted how we use our bodies and words to translate meaning. Students worked together and engaged in role play to demonstrate emotions. After each workshop, there was a chance for questions, with many students asking when they will be able to do this again.

In the middle school, actors from the Seattle Shakespeare Company performed several short scenes over two separate sessions. The scenes were from Romeo and Juliette and included time for questions at the end. The actors brought the scenes to life with voices, emotions, costumes, and a skilled narrator. After the adventure onstage, students inquired about the prep work that goes into performances, including tips for memorizing lines and how to mentally get into character for several parts or shows at once. This fantastic activity was made possible thanks to the Joan Beauregard Endowment for Discovery and Enrichment. We are always seeking unique enrichment experiences. Have an idea to share?
