The Romeo & Juliet Session Online:

Keeping up with the Capulets

Over the past years, Cyclone has had to adapt its approach to meet the needs of teachers and to provide students as always with insightful and exciting Shakespeare offerings. This saw us adapting our Romeo & Juliet Session to an online format. Learning from this experience we are proud to announce that this year we have updated and improved our show: The Romeo & Juliet Session Online: Keeping up with the Capulets.

The show is an entertaining and informative modern take on the tale of the lovers from fair Verona. Juan Adonis of ‘Love news’ follows the adventures of the star crossed lovers as they rebel against the age-old feud and strict parents so they can be together. In tandem with key scenes, Director Peadar Donohoe and Actor Marcus Bale discuss the major themes of the play to aid students in their studies.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

The Romeo & Juliet Session Online: Keeping up with the Capulets comprises three webinars. Together with access to the three sessions, teachers will receive a thorough Resource Handout to use with their students. This will review major points presented on all the Webinars and provide supplementary exercises that teachers can use with their students if they wish.

HOW CAN THIS SHOW BE EXPERIENCED?

The Romeo & Juliet Session Online: Keeping up with the Capulets can be experienced from classroom or from home. It works well for teachers or students who want to work on it in groups or for individuals.

HOW WILL THE ROMEO & JULIET SESSION ONLINE WORK?

Soon after you book tickets you will receive a specially designed comprehensive Resource Handout which will review major points covered on the webinars along with supplementary exercises that you can use with students. Once full payment for the tickets is received you can watch the sessions. And later on in the year, you can watch them again for revision (See below Recording Access Details for more on this).

The Resource Handout can be used to work with the students prior to watching the sessions, while you are watching them or after you finish as a way to recap the discussions and analysis introduced by the sessions. Some of the supplementary exercises included in the handout are created to be done before watching the sessions and some after. This way you can pick and choose the way you want to work and always have plenty of topics for discussion or exercises to do with your students.

RECORDING ACCESS DETAILS

All recorded performances will be uploaded to a private page on our Website. Teachers will be sent a link and a password to access the recorded performance of their choice. Please note that passwords are valid for one week (Monday to Friday). If for whatever reason you need access to any of the Webinars later again in the year, please let us know and we will accommodate you.

The recommended set up for The Romeo & Juliet Session Online is that of a classroom or hall with a computer and projector so that the whole student group can experience the webinar together.
