Julie Taymor: Setting a Scene

Theater transforms ordinary words on a page into verbal and visual magic through a combination of art forms.

Julie Taymor is one of theater's most inventive directors. Students watch the magic unfold as she rehearses scenes from The Tempest. The use of puppets, masks and music creates an imaginary world that brings Shakespeare alive in your classroom.

Students will learn about the process of creation that shapes a theatrical production, and practice their own imagery and characters through in-class activities.
