Shakespeare and Performance: Thinking, Teaching, and the Public Life of the Arts

Thirty-eight secondary school teachers attended this invigorating one-day continuing education program I put together. Participants were invited to think together about how performance can build bridges between the work we do in the classroom and the larger world of citizenship and public life. It featured discussions and workshops led by Emma Depledge (Neuchâtel), Lukas Erne (Geneva), Isabel Karremann (Zurich), Devani Singh (Geneva), and myslef (Lausanne), as well as a short performance by actor, clown, scholar, and teacher, Vincent Laughery (Gymnase de Renens).
