Dulwich College International and Royal Shakespeare Company Enter New Partnership
Dulwich College International (DCI) announced a new partnership with the Royal Shakespeare Company Education Department for seven of its nine schools in Asia.
The collaboration offers students aged 10 to 18 years a wide array of opportunities to deepen their understanding of Shakespeare’s works through tried and tested strategies from the RSC’s rehearsal rooms. The first year programme will include residencies at the schools by RSC artists, tailored student workshops, and access to the RSC’s online resources as well as RSC performances in the UK and Asia.
The first activity took place recently in Shanghai, where four RSC artists took part in DCI’s annual Shakespeare Festival, featuring student performances of Romeo and Juliet, The Tempest and Hamlet, and conducted a tailored, residential three-day Professional Learning programme for 30 of the group’s drama and English teachers. DCI schools participating in the first year are Dulwich College Shanghai, Dulwich College Beijing, Dulwich College Suzhou, Dulwich College Seoul, Dulwich College Singapore, Dulwich International High School Suzhou and Dulwich International High School Zhuhai.
