FINDING THE WILL - Shakespeare Workshops

Making Shakespeare fun and accessible for all ages.
Shakespeare Workshops and Project Weeks for Primary Schools.

A FINDING THE WILL Primary School workshop or Project Week, whether it be for KS1 or KS2, is an all-round, all inclusive, interactive learning experience. Our Shakespeare workshops and Project Weeks for schools are aimed at KS1 and KS2 and KS3 in Special Educational Needs Schools. The students require no prior knowledge of the play, in fact we actively encourage teachers not to reveal the story before we arrive. The workshop element is designed to be interactive whereby the students are encouraged to use their imaginations, answering questions and playing characters in the story. The Project Weeks culminate in the students performing their own version of the chosen play. Every student participating in a Project Week is guaranteed a role.

An FTW Shakespeare workshop or Project Week not only gives an understanding of a well-known Shakespeare play but also helps with:

- Listening skills
- Language development
- Team building - Resilience
- Concentration
- Imagination
- Confidence boosting
- Empathy
- And it’s Fun!

A complimentary Teachers’ Pack is provided.
