Our Theatre
We are delighted to announced that Hamlet will be this year's Our Theatre production.
Date: 20th March 2008
Time: 1 pm (the performance will last approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes)
Since its inception in 1997, Our Theatre has become the flagship annual community event of the Globe Education season, celebrating the creativity and achievements of students and teachers in Southwark. This project is made possible by the generous support of PricewaterhouseCoopers.
This year 13 Southwark nursery, primary, secondary schools, and schools for students with SEN will work with Globe Education Practitioners to create an ensemble piece of theatre for the Globe Stage.
Each participating school works with a Globe Education Practitioner on one scene from the play. During Globe Education sessions, participating students explore the play and devise and rehearse their scene for performance on the Globe stage. This programme of activities culminates with a full scale production on the Globe Stage attended by an audience of people who work, live or learn in Southwark.
Our Theatre teachers work in partnership with Globe Education Practitioners and play an important role within the project. The project aims to develop sustainable, practical skills through training days and ongoing support to develop the creative practice of teachers in Southwark schools.
Project aims
- To develop the confidence and self esteem of students.
- To provide access to the Globe Theatre and the processes of creating a production for the Globe stage.
- To encourage students to develop speaking and listening skills
- To deepen and enrich Globe Education’s positive relationship with the local community.
