EDUCATION OUTREACH
At Red Bull Theater, we believe that practical experience with Shakespeare and the art of dramatic story-telling are critical components of any education, and that exploring classical theater and experiencing the power of heightened theatrical language is of particular importance to the imaginative lives of the next generation. The inclusion of dramatic story-telling, theatrical exercises and heightened poetic text in classroom curricula increases literacy opportunities, expands social understanding, allows imaginative growth, teaches collaborative problem-solving and promotes self-confidence and personal presence in young people. The Red Bull Theater Direct Address program encourages exactly this kind of development.
The program takes its name from a compelling theatrical device, frequently employed in Shakespeare and the classical theater, in which a character directly addresses the audience. It is in moments such as this that the audience and the actor enter into a powerful imaginative experience with each other. Through our in-school residencies, dedicated educational performances and panel discussions with our actors and artists Red Bull Theater 'directly addresses’ young minds and encourages the educational and artistic development of the next generation of theatergoers.
With nearly 10 years of experience working in NYC Schools, Red Bull Theater Direct Address has reached thousands of young people. Our single day workshops and 6-12 week residencies have had significant success with students of all ages.
