Dulwich College International
RSC Learning is working in partnership with Dulwich College International delivering arts education in eleven of its schools in Asia. Since 2016, we have delivered a programme of work including Teacher CPD, Artist Residencies and an annual Shakespeare Festival. Watch the latest Shakespeare Festival trailer.
The collaboration includes a wide variety of opportunities for students aged five to 18 to deepen their knowledge and understanding of Shakespeare’s works through using tried and tested strategies from the RSC’s rehearsal rooms. In 2025, students will have the opportunity to take part in an RSC Summer School in Stratford upon Avon, working with RSC Artists to create a performance within a week-long residential.
Commenting on the partnership, Jacqui O’Hanlon, Director of RSC Learning and National Partnerships, said: “We are committed to long term partnerships and meaningful cultural exchange and are therefore delighted to be continuing our partnership with DCI schools in Asia. We all share a belief that Shakespeare’s work belongs to the world; it offers us the opportunity to explore human experience in all its many guises and like all great works of arts, helps us understand ourselves, each other and the world we live in.
"We’ve had the joy of experiencing the truth of that with students across DCI sites, working in close collaboration with a host of committed and talented teachers. At the RSC we place a special emphasis on sharing the inheritance of Shakespeare’s work with children and young people and our education approaches are inspired by the work of RSC actors and directors in the rehearsal room. This partnership gives us the chance to deepen that work with students and teachers. I know it will continue to be a richly rewarding exchange, both for RSC artists working with DCI schools and for the students, teachers and audiences participating in that work.”
