Workshop - Touchstone: A Midsummer Nights Dream

Friday 2nd September 2005, 2.00-3.30pm, Bedson Teaching Centre LG34

A practical workshop by Touchstone Shakespeare Theatre with local people. The workshop will demonstrate how Shakespeare’s’ language can be fused with interactive drama to combat the impairments caused by Autism.

In the morning the founder members of Touchstone will work local people who are on the Autistic Spectrum followed by a 90 minute demonstration and feedback session in the afternoon to demonstrate their work.

This work is based on an on-going project – The Glebe/Hayes Inclusion Project - created by Touchstone with a group of 12 young people on the Autistic Spectrum at Glebe School, Bromley.
