What does it mean to teach Shakespeare with purpose? It means
freeing teachers from the notion that teaching Shakespeare means
teaching everything, or teaching "Western Civilisation" and
universal themes. Instead, this invigorating new book equips
teachers to enable student-centred discovery of these complex
texts. Because Shakespeare's plays are excellent vehicles for many
topics -history, socio-cultural norms and mores, vocabulary,
rhetoric, literary tropes and terminology, performance history,
performance strategies - it is tempting to teach his plays as
though they are good for teaching everything. This lens-free
approach, however, often centres the classroom on the teacher as
the expert and renders Shakespeare's plays as fixed, determined,
and dead. Teaching Shakespeare with Purpose shows teachers how to
approach Shakespeare's works as vehicles for collaborative
exploration, to develop intentional frames for discovery, and to
release the texts from over-determined interpretations. In other
words, this book presents how to teach Shakespeare's plays as
living, breathing, and evolving texts.

The book offers a compelling combination of analyis and detailed
description of aesthetic projects with young refugee arrivals in
Australia. In it the authors present a framework that
contextualises the intersections of refugee studies, resilience and
trauma, and theatre and arts-based practice, setting out a context
for understanding and valuing the complexity of drama in this
growing area of applied theatre. "Applied Theatre: Resettlement"
includes rich analysis of three aesthetic case studies in Primary,
Secondary and Further Education contexts with young refugees. The
case studies provide a unique insight into the different age
specific needs of newly arrived young people. The authors detail
how each group and educational context shaped diverse drama and
aesthetic responses: the Primary school case study uses process
drama as a method to enhance language acquisition and develop
intercultural literacy; the Secondary school project focuses on
Forum Theatre and peer teaching with young people as a means of
enhancing language confidence and creating opportunities for
cultural competency in the school community, and the further
education case study explores work with unaccompanied minors and
employs integrated multi art forms (poetry, art, drama, digital
arts, clay sculptures and voice work) to increase confidence in
language acquisition and explore different forms of expression and
communication about the transition process. Through its careful
framing of practice to speak to concerns of power, process,
representation and ethics, the authors ensure the studies have an
international relevance beyond their immediate context. "Drama,
Refugees and Resilience" contributes to new professional knowledge
building in the fields of applied theatre and refugee studies about
the efficacy of drama practice in enhancing language acquisition,
cultural settlement and pedagogy with newly arrived refugee young
people.

Seattle, Washington. He finds himself engulfed in a dysfunctional
family with a hustler father, mother strung out on drugs, domestic

"As a guest gift for the wonderful wine, I will eat you last,"
yawns Polyphemus the Cyclops, in Joanne Keegan's wonderous,
phantasmagoric comedy based on Homer's epic poem, the
"Odyssey."
Laying down a comedic play for school-age students on a
classical substrate may seem ambitious for some, but for others, it
is an opportunity to expand the imagination.
The result is more than just a clever piece of drama-it is an
inspired work of art in its own right, a wild ride to open up
students' dramatic talents and expose them to an age-old
classic.
"The Odyssey" provides age-appropriate and accessible material,
parts for over twenty students, and strong roles for both male and
female actors, all while retaining the flavor of Homer's classic in
the context of an original and imaginative play, with adventure,
humor, and, of course, a cast of colorful characters
