From comically epic death scenes and magical fairy spells, to guessing Helena's favorite color -- these kids were on board! Shakespeare nerds for life after one-hour workshop? Maybe...

Culture Week at the International School of Brooklyn (April 2016)
The Young Collectives spent an afternoon with the students of International School of Brooklyn, taking part in their Culture Week with a fantastic, accessible Shakespeare workshop. We took "A Midsummer Night's Dream" into a room full of skeptical kids, and, as always, left a room full of bonafide Shakespeare nerds. Theatre games, vibrant storytelling, and a scaffolded approach to performance helped our teaching artists do what they do best. We can't wait to see them again next year!
