In previous summers pupils from across country have followed in the footsteps of some of the world’s best-known actors when they performed on stage in Stratford-upon-Avon as part of the RSC’s Playmaking Festival for schools.
Due to the ongoing impact of COVID-19 and the cancellation of all planned Royal Shakespeare Company performances and activity this Spring, the Playmaking Festival, originally spanning eight days between 29 June – 14 July can no longer go ahead as planned.
In response to this challenge, the Playmaking Festival will take place online in 2020, featuring contributions from over 75 schools nationwide.
Each week for five weeks, schools in the Associate Schools Programme network are being set a Creative Challenge. Inspired by the themes of As You Like It and The Taming of the Shrew and drawing upon young people’s personal experience of living through lockdown, each of these challenges has been designed to be completed either by pupils still at school or by those learning from home.
