Residencies

Three days…or three weeks!

Our residencies use physical and written exercises, and classroom performances to explore Shakespeare's works in more depth. They can be customized according to the needs of a particular class or school, or tied to our Richmond Shakespeare Theatre performances . Showcasing Shakespeare's plays as blueprints for performances, residencies give students the chance to explore flexible points of view, and help them to understand how chance discoveries or creative decisions can affect the staging of a single scene or an entire play.

Residencies create a kind of engagement with the text that silent reading never can.
