Floyd Rumohr - Stage It!

In this episode we hear from Floyd Rumohr about his newly released book, Stage It! Making Shakespeare Come Alive in Schools, which is born out of his decades of experience working with students in New York City. The book focuses on four of Shakespeare's plays with extensive lesson plans for teachers to stage parts or up to a forty-minute, abridged adaptation with their students. The beauty of this is in allowing both the teachers and the students to be creative and vulnerable as they learn the vocabulary specific to the theater and to Shakespeare's plays. The lessons encourage students to express themselves and their emotions through a similar process that actors engage in. You can find more information on Floyd and his book at ⁠www.stageitplays.com⁠.
