In-school Residencies
Kentucky Shakespeare will work with your arts and humanities coordinator to develop one of the following residencies designed specifically to meet your school’s goals and needs.
Shakespeare’s Studio
3rd Grade Artist-in-Residence
This studio for third-graders uses Shakespeare as a base to introduce Elizabethan dance, pantomime/drama, music and visual arts to students. A professional artist educator comes directly to your third- grade classroom with carefully crafted curriculum designed to meet core content.
This workshop takes six hours to complete and can be scheduled in six one-hour sessions or two three-hour sessions, and is designed for 25 students.
Shakespeare’s Studio
5th Grade Artist-in-Residence
This Shakespeare Studio immerses students in the elements of drama, learning literary, technical and performance elements as they create their own theatre. By writing their own scripts, creating their own costumes and scenery and acting in their own plays, students are engaged hands-on in this learning experience. A professional artist educator comes directly into your fifth-grade classroom with carefully developed lessons that meet core content.
This workshop takes eight hours to complete and is designed for 25 students.
The After-School Drama Program
The After-School Drama Program serves youth on a weekly basis with an introduction to theatre, dance, music, visual arts and creative writing. This program will meet weekly for two hours per week over the course of twelve weeks. Youth will be engaged 1) by writing, producing and performing in their own production, gaining hands-on learning experience in arts education; 2) working with one artist, who will be on-site one day per week for two hours leading activities that include set and costume design, playwriting, ensemble building, choreography, music appreciation and drama; and 3) participating in a final performance of the youth-written, -produced and -performed production.
This workshop is designed for 25 students.
