Rapspeare has been designed to inspire students to not only explore Shakespeare’s verse, but also break any preconceived stereotypes regarding the bard using contemporary rap and hip hop beats. Pupils will discover how to connect with Elizabethan language by smashing apart the iambic pentameter and learning to articulate Shakespeare in a fresh and exciting new way.
During the workshop students will be encouraged to explore one or more of Shakespeare’s speeches through a variety of unique and inspiring activities and tasks. By the end of the session students will have learnt and performed a piece of Shakespearean verse in a ‘rap off’ and will be equipped with the techniques required to deliver this to the rest of their peers.
Each hour-long workshop caters for a class of 30 from KS1 & KS2 and can culminate in an end of day rap off with all groups in attendance.
