The Primary Shakespeare Company offers bespoke multi-sensory and participatory arts projects based on Shakespeare’s plays for young people with a range of complex disabilities. Engagement and inclusivity are at the heart of the projects. Each one is shaped by the particular needs of the young people involved and seeks to offer them a space in which to express their perspective and celebrate their skills.

A bespoke project brings together a team of arts practitioners from a range of disciplines to work with teachers and young people. Together, they explore the world of a Shakespeare play through storytelling, music and dance, culminating in a live performance.

Currently the number of bespoke projects is very limited but The Primary Shakespeare Company is looking to develop its work in this field. Special Schools that are interested should contact The Primary Shakespeare Company.

Cost: These projects are funded but a contribution of £850 towards the overall costs is required.
