Red Bull Theater's Education Department is dedicated to expanding students'
understanding of theater while increasing their literacy skills through text
based workshops grounded in classically inspired work centered on the plays
of Shakespeare and his contemporaries.
Red Bull Theater believes that classical theater is of particular importance
to the imaginative lives of the next generation. Introducing young people to
the archetypal stories of our world and cultivating their interest in a
heightened form of expression are primary aspects of Red Bull Theater's
mission.
The company is committed to developing relationships with New York City
school students, and offers discounted tickets and other incentives for
attendance to students of all ages.
Red Bull Theater laid the groundwork for its "Direct Address" outreach
program during the run of our first full production, Shakespeare's Pericles,
when over 60 sixth-graders traveled from a Bronx middle school to see the
play, and participated in a post-show discussion with the cast and crew.
That event solidified a partnership that has led to an annual 8-week
in-school residency at Bronx MS 391 with teaching artists from Red Bull
Theater delivering workshops on Shakespeare and the art of dramatic
storytelling.
"Direct Address" refers to the style of speech in a Shakespearean play when
a character directly addresses the audience, often referred to as an
'aside'. This moment of unobfuscated interaction between actor and audience
is often the most dynamic moment of dialogue and drama in a classical text.
Red Bull Theater intends to 'directly address' young audiences and student
minds in a dynamic interaction, reaching out to them through workshops
brought to the classroom, and reaching in by bringing the students back to
the theater to experience the art of dramatic storytelling in live action.
