Online CPD: Teaching Shakespeare and Sexuality
Build your confidence and skills in facilitating LGBTQIA+ inclusive discussions in the classroom in this practical and interactive online Continuing Professional Development workshop. Designed for Secondary English and Drama teachers.
Working with an experienced Education practitioner, you’ll use academic and practical tools to analyse where Shakespeare’s works illuminate the queer culture of his own time, as well as revealing how ‘queering’ the performance of Shakespeare’s plays can unlock further meaning.
Using practical techniques direct from our rehearsal rooms and references to current research relating to the plays in their original and contemporary contexts, you will uncover the queer potential in Shakespeare and the possibilities and provocative discussions that can arise from looking at his plays through an other-than-heteronormative lens.
Your experience includes:
- A two hour workshop with an expert practitioner
- A takeaway session plan to help you embed your learning in the classroom
This is an online event hosted on Zoom and will be available to join from wherever you are in the world.
