Overview
"While William Shakespeare's work permeates the United States education system, scholars debate the benefit. Through qualitative interviews and a review of literature, six pedagogical approaches to liberatory Shakespeare education were discovered and applied to a devising process. A group of unaffiliated adults piloted the co-constructed, devised process, which integrated social-justice theatre techniques with ensemble and community building activities with the goal of creating a performance in response to Shakespeare's Macbeth. The results of the project are a strong group identity, sense of ownership over historical text, and deepened understanding of Macbeth outside the classroom. Themes of power, identity, cyclical violence, and oppressive systems in relation to Macbeth and to participant experience illuminate the importance and relevance of liberatory Shakespeare education." -- Abstract
