Our transformative Reflecting Shakespeare program goes public with Reflecting Shakespeare TV! Originally created for those currently experiencing incarceration, it has proven to nurture empathy and allow participants to gain tools for self-expression through theatre-based activities, self-reflection, personal writing, and exploration of Shakespeare’s text and characters. Through videos featuring Arts Engagement Programs Manager Erika Phillips, Master Teaching Artist James Pillar, and Teaching Artist Niki Martinez, those inside will continue to participate via California State Prisons' institutional TV. And for the first time since its conception in 2016, those on the outside can journey along to discover for themselves how to create a point of connection to humanity through Shakespeare. Find it on The Old Globe’s YouTube channel!
Reflecting Shakespeare TV is supported in part by grants from the California Arts Council and the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. Arts Engagement programs at The Old Globe are supported in part by The James Irvine Foundation and Qualcomm. Digital programs are supported by the Peggy and Robert Matthews Foundation. Globe teaching artists are supported by the Ann Davies Fund for Teaching Artists. Financial support is provided by The City of San Diego.
