Bringing the Jove experience to you!
about our in-school programs
Sport for Jove's in-school programs give students the chance to transform Shakespeare from a subject to be studied into a story to be lived. Through immersive residencies, performance-based symposiums and lectures, and hands-on workshops, students don't just read the text—they get up on their feet, explore character and voice, and see professional interpretive choices unfold before them, giving them concrete insight to draw on in their own analysis and creative work.
With flexible formats to suit any timetable and year level, and genuine industry expertise woven into every session, these programs offer students a memorable, curriculum-aligned experience that deepens their understanding of Shakespeare and opens a window into the world of professional performance.
SHAKESPEARE Residencies
Our In-School Residency Program delivers an immersive and practical investigation of Shakespeare’s plays, world, characters and language through action. Led by our highly experienced teaching artists, a Residency offers in-depth textual analysis alongside practical, hands-on learning opportunities that get students up and engaging with the text themselves. Every aspect of the work is geared toward the curriculum and is tailored to the specific needs of your students.
Catapult your students straight onto the stage with professional actors and directors, culminating in a live performance for friends and family.
