This subject will include a week long intensive workshop, held during the January Victorian school holidays. Students will participate in workshops exploring the active processes of interpreting, teaching and staging Shakespeare for students, and also associated approaches to other dramatic and complex literary texts. They will then extend the practical work into critical and/or dramaturgical scholarship based on themes arising from the texts. The content will flow through directly to be taken up in EDUC90497 Implementing Dramatic Processes.
