TitleDrama and Language: A Workshop for Spanish Teachers
Body
An Open Invitation to Teachers of Spanish:

Language begins with the desire to communicate. Desire born from conditions fundamental to all human beings across all cultures. We are looking for twenty innovators. Twenty teachers eager to find new ways to reconnect themselves and their students to language’s first principals. We have designed a workshop for the curious and we are inviting you to join us in a summer of exploration.

The Marsillach Acting Academy has experienced considerable success using acting techniques to bring life and immediacy into classrooms of students struggling with a new language. Our experience has led us to design a twofold curriculum for English speaking teachers of Spanish. In our Summer Performance Workshop set in Spain 's historically rich Castilla La Mancha, teacher participants will undertake a role by Spain ’s most legendary playwright in a 3-week acting intensive. Working with Cristina Marsillach, Artistic Director of the Marsillach Academy in Madrid, as well as scholars and theatrical professionals associated with the El Festival Internacional de Teatro Clásico de Almagro students will receive lectures and hands-on instruction leading to a production of Bodas de Sangre - By Frederico Garcia Lorca on the stage at Almagro, a beautiful, classical theater from the 16th century.
