Learning
Learning through Shakespeare
Learning, leading to understanding, is the most important phase of our development process. In keeping with our alternative approach to everything we do, our learning approach when it comes to Shakespeare is based around;
-
Understanding traditional education methods and approaches, and then accepting, adapting or rejecting them to meet our own learning aspirations and style
-
Placing the focus and emphasis on a self-led learning process, with people learning for themselves and from each other rather than being "educated"
-
Accepting that there are many ways of learning - whether that's alone or together
-
Working towards our ultimate goal, which is to help each one of us better understand and then develop both ourselves and the world around us
Learning through Shakespeare
We want to not only add to the pool of knowledge of Shakespeare and his works but, more importantly, to elevate our understanding of the real contribution he had, and still is, making to our understanding of who we are.
Understanding through Shakespeare
The aim of this work is to ask one question: what can we understand and/or learn from, Shakespeare's Work, Life, and Afterlife, that will help us better live our own lives, the world around us and humanity as a whole?
