Performance Approaches to Teaching Shakespeare

Performance serves as a vital tool for deepening students' comprehension of Shakespeare's works, particularly in "Taming of the Shrew," "Richard III," and "Hamlet." By engaging with these plays through performance, students gain insights into the characters and themes, enhancing their appreciation and interpretation of the texts. Rocklin emphasizes the transformative power of acting and its ability to bring Shakespeare's language and ideas to life in the classroom.
