In their roles as education practitioners, Robin and Emma bring rehearsal room techniques into classrooms, making Shakespeare's plays accessible and engaging for students of all ages. Their approach emphasizes active participation, creative exploration, and critical inquiry, empowering students to unlock the richness and relevance of Shakespearean texts.
Rare Vision are particularly passionate about using Shakespeare's plays as a catalyst for addressing contemporary issues and promoting social justice. They believe in the transformative power of theatre to spark meaningful conversations and inspire positive change, and they actively collaborate with young people to explore how Shakespeare's insights can resonate with their own lived experiences and aspirations.
From early years to undergraduate levels, Emma and Robin’s work embodies a commitment to inclusivity, empathy, and empowerment. They create vibrant learning environments where every student feels valued, heard, and inspired to discover their own voice and agency.
