You made a difficult play accessible and meaningful to students in a short space of time. I will certainly be making a booking for next year’s HSC group.

GLASSHOUSE PORT MACQUARIE PRESENTS SPORT FOR JOVE’S SYMPOSIUMS

Sport for Jove are now in their 12th year and strive to ensure young people have the opportunity to find their voice through theatre.

In 2021, with the support of Glasshouse Port Macquarie, Sport for Jove will offer their highly successful HSC Symposium program to Secondary Students from around our region. The HSC Symposium is a practical in-depth look at a specific work on the HSC syllabus. This is an essential opportunity to deepen your student’s practical understanding through experiencing and analyzing key scenes and characters in performance. Lecture and scene work interspersed with expert commentary from Damien Ryan and his team – exploring famous scenes and speeches in multiple ways, opening up diverse critical readings, unlocking language and character, hearing actors discuss the plays’ famous ambiguities and challenges, and answering students’ questions. A complete, hands-on experience that combines the unfiltered relationship students need with the plays’ action and narrative while also ensuring they are ‘watching with understanding’, in other words, extracting the key ingredients and critical thinking required to write on the plays under exam conditions.
