"Literature is filled wi th examples of writers and commentators discussing the importance of dance as a medium for social interaction. My w orkshops help students envisage the life of a Shakespearian by inhabiting the period and physically moving in time, from start to finish. This is a great way to get Shakespeare off the page and bring him to life! I want help the student inhabit Shakespeare's world by starting to move like an Elizabethan." Jo Bartlett
"Outstanding subject knowledge. Excellent teaching style; engaging and you had a good sense of fun, humour and discipline. The workshop provided a cross-curricular link to subjects such as History and Politics, as well as placing the dances into context. The choreography provides the teachers with new ideas that are relevant to the style and time of the play."
