Shakespeare education is being reimagined around the world. This book delves into the important role of collaborative projects in this extraordinary transformation. Over twenty innovative Shakespeare partnerships from the UK, US, Australia, New Zealand, the Middle East, Europe and South America are critically explored by their leaders and participants. –Structured into thematic sections covering engagement with schools, universities, the public, the digital and performance, the chapters offer vivid insights into what it means to teach, learn and experience Shakespeare in collaboration with others. Diversity, equality, identity, incarceration, disability, community and culture are key factors in these initiatives, which together reveal how complex and humane Shakespeare education can be. Whether you are interested in practice or theory, this collection showcases an abundance of rich, inspiring and informative perspectives on Shakespeare education in our contemporary world.

Reviews for Reimagining Shakespeare Education: Teaching and Learning through Collaboration

'What I admire about Reimagining Shakespeare Education is the line it treads between critique and possibility. Shakespeare is both the problem, and, as these creative, inclusive and self-aware projects demonstrate, the potential solution. Anyone picking up this book will find something new and stimulating, and often moving, about the ways Shakespeare can be deployed with different cohorts in different settings.' Emma Smith, Oxford University 'This lively, diverse collection provides both a wide-ranging survey of contemporary pedagogical engagements with Shakespeare and a state-of-the-field overview of critical, theoretical, and practical work on Shakespeare and performance. It will be a valuable resource for all teachers, students, and theatre-makers who are interested in the origins and the future of the media and institutions through which we encounter, create, and disseminate Shakespeare's plays and new knowledge about them.' Jeremy Lopez, University of Toronto
