Around the World with Global Hamlet

Beginning in 2018, Global Hamlet started a worldwide film and theatre production. Until then, most of our affairs kept us close to home. But for more than a year, we learned, shared experiences with, and recorded young people. In addition, we spoke to their educators, and discovered valuable techniques to approaching the Bard of Avon. Altogether, our journey took us across North America, to Europe, Africa, Asia, plus Australia. During a tour which spanned those continents, ImprovEd Shakespeare’s Andee Kinzy sought out and worked with youth in ten different countries and thirteen separate cities.

Scene by scene, these youth performers from different cultures added to the painful saga. Beyond cultural and language differences, each location featured a distinct crop of young players. Yet, all used the Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark, as their common thread, to tell the story.

Hence, we compiled from our web series, the film Global Hamlet. To enumerate, the Global Hamlet Screening pulls the various Episodes together into one feature-length format. Our production features students ranging in age between 8-21 years. And, not only does the film meld ages, but it also merges levels of experience, as well as multiple languages. Moreover, it includes a vibrant cast of young people from the USA, Germany, South Africa, Israel, India, Australia, the Netherlands, Russia, and England.

As is always the case with ImprovEd Shakespeare, this event is appropriate for all ages.

SHAKESPEARE FOR ALL

Working with Shakespeare in education frightens many. Because Shakespeare experts, including professionals, surround us. Escaping them is difficult. This can be intimidating. Thus, feelings of dread usually accompany the act of presenting, but moreover be introduced to, The Bard.

For this reason, ImprovEd Shakespeare is here to help. Founder and Director, Andee Kinzy, offers the layman’s approach to Shakespeare.

SHAKESPEARE FOR TEACHERS AND DIRECTORS

If you’re an English teacher, a theatre director, or a well-trained Shakespeare advocate, here you will find inspiration, as well as techniques, for making our favorite bard fun for Kids. Accordingly, we present old, new and improved ideas for introducing Shakespeare to youth for the non-Shakespeare-academic. Among them, we include theatre games, improvisation, tips, tricks, plus activities for using Shakespeare in education.

SHAKESPEARE FOR KIDS

Since 2011, ImprovEd Shakespeare has been exploring The Bard with youth through theatrical performance. Our signature scripts are a mix of modern narration plus original Shakespeare verse. With a focus on the story, including an abbreviated script length, our productions entertain all ages. Moreover, our catalog goes beyond the oft-used Midsummer Night’s Dream, or Romeo and Juliet. And still, young people find much to their delight among many of Shakespeare’s works. Consider subscribing to our YouTube channel for family-friendly Shakespeare videos.

PERFORMANCES

Each fall and spring, ImprovEd Shakespeare develops a new production for live performance. In honor of the traditional Renaissance traveling troupe, during a period of a few weeks, we present Kid-friendly plays at various venues around town. Our Players, between 3rd-11th grade, gear themselves with playful, as well as engaging interpretations of works by the Bard of Avon. Suitable for all ages, each performance runs for about an hour.

Furthermore, these shows are always FREE. However, we gladly accept Donations! Additionally, visit ImprovEd Shakespeare, Shakespeare for Kids by Kids on Facebook, Instagram, & Twitter. And don’t forget to click on our BLOG for the stories behind these videos.
