Our workshops offer a practical learning experience where students explore Shakespeare’s plays through experimentation and performance. Led by experienced professional actors, these sessions help students understand and appreciate Shakespeare’s language and literary devices by putting them into action.

Each workshop is facilitated by a professional actor who has performed Shakespeare's plays before large audiences. Their expertise brings the text to life and provides valuable insights into Shakespeare’s techniques.

Our workshops are designed to be adaptable for various age groups, from middle school to high school as well as higher education. We adjust the content and complexity based on the students' age and level of familiarity with Shakespeare’s work.

Students will gain a deeper understanding of Shakespeare’s language, rhetorical devices, and thematic elements. By participating in live demonstrations and exercises, they will see how these elements function in performance and how to apply them in their own work.

Workshops typically range from 1 to 3 hours, depending on your needs and schedule. We can tailor the duration to fit your class timetable.

We recommend no more than about thirty students per workshop. If the number is more than this, we are able to run simultaneous workshops.

To book a workshop, please contact Ellie by email to erusso@bedouinshakespeare.com with your preferred dates and any specific requirements. We will provide you with available options and assist you with the booking process.

We recommend having a basic understanding of the play or text you want to focus on, but no extensive preparation is required. Our facilitators will guide students through the material and activities. We can focus in depth on one play or concentrate on Shakespeare's language in general.

Costs vary depending on the duration and specific requirements of the workshops. Our usual prices are:

€400 for a single workshop

€700 for two workshops

€900 for three workshops

(prices based on all workshops being one a half to two hours long)

These are our regular prices however we believe that Shakespeare should be accessible to everyone so please do not be shy about getting in touch.

The workshops are practical and so require a clear large space so that the students are able to rehearse scenes in groups. A large classroom or studio theatre is ideal. They will be performing some scenes for the rest of the group so chairs are advised for older students to be able to form an audience.
