Romeo & Juliet Springs to Life in Collaboration with Marymount School

As a culminating experience to their study of Romeo and Juliet, eighth graders recently participated in a four-session workshop with students from Marymount. The boys and girls explored ways to bring the play to life as they learned about aspects of Shakespearean performance, including stage combat, rhythmic speech using iambic pentameter, and masquerade. During the final session, they performed an incident from the play using the techniques they learned, for an audience of their peers.
