Dateline: 4th December, 2006
£90,000 for RSC Education The Royal Shakespeare Company has been awarded unprecedented funding for its young people’s programmes of work by John Lyon’s Charity.
The RSC’s Learning department leads regular programmes for young people to help realise the Company’s aim of “ensuring all young people have a positive experience of Shakespeare”. This aim is already realised in Warwickshire and Coventry through key programmes that are directed towards Secondary and SEN schools. The Company now plans to roll these programmes out across London through funding from John Lyon’s Charity, to enable schools in Brent, Ealing and Chelsea to benefit from this work.
The projects will run alongside the RSC’s annual London Season (December – March), and are as follows:
David Robins, Director of the Trust says, “Education is at the core of the RSC, and John Lyon’s Charity is delighted to support their pioneering programme for London’s schoolchildren.”
Fiona Ingram of RSC Learning who is heading up the programmes says, “The RSC is intent on enabling young people to have positive experiences of Shakespeare by connecting them practically to his language and stories, and giving them chances to perform on our stages.” Please note that all three Archive indices are very long and will therefore take some time to download.
