The Commission Conversations - Jacqui O'Hanlon
Description
In this 'Commission Conversation' Geoff Barton, Chair of the Commission on the Future of Oracy Education in England, talks to Jacqui O'Hanlon about realising the potential of Shakespeare's work in the curriculum and young people's lives, how theatre-based pedagogy can impact students' speaking, listening and writing and how, more widely, the arts in schools contribute to the social, emotional and academic development of young people.
Jacqui O'Hanlon is Director of Creative Learning and Engagement at the Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC). The RSC is a theatre company that produces and shares plays in Stratford-upon-Avon and around the world. As a teaching theatre, the RSC is a national centre for performance, teaching, training, learning and research about Shakespeare and theatre arts. Their research projects include 'Time to Act' which explored the difference that Shakespeare’s work and RSC teaching approaches make to the language development and social and emotional development of children and young people.
