Actor & consultant from London's Globe Theatre visits CHS
On Tuesday, Oct. 18, Tas Emiabata, an actor and Learning Consultant from the Globe Theatre in London, visited Cordova High School. He collaborated in Kelly Boske's Shakespeare Seminar class to work with the students on scenes from The Tempest.
Part of the Globe ethos (Globe Education) is to get kids exploring
Shakespeare in an active way, and to have them up on their feet doing exercises
to help them explore the text for deeper understanding and appreciation
"Tas was an incredibly enthusiastic instructor, and the students were engaged for the entire 2-hour session", Kelly Boske said.
Teachers from across the District were invited to observe the session with the students in the afternoon, and then after school, Tas worked with the teachers on ways they could utilize these same techniques and exercises in their own classes.
Students were up to a hands-on experience in literature during the time shared with Emiabata.
