A lot of the Reggio Emilia Approach is focused on the importance of environment as the third teacher. By giving children access to role-playing materials, they will be able to engage in self-directed dramatic play using thoughtfully placed resources around the classroom or learning environment. The play was commissioned for the Shakespeare's Globe where it opened from 10 August 2018 running until 1 September. The production featured an all-female cast and was directed by Nicole Charles. The unique thing about this show is that it’s entirely the effort of women. The cast, crew, and band are all women, which makes the massively feminist context of the show even more powerful. Every woman has a presence on the stage, and what makes it even greater is the vast diversity of the cast, including several disabled actors (who are cast purely because they’re incredible actors, and not because their disabilities have any bearing on the plot).Every line of dialogue is important, and not a single part of the show feels out of place of unneeded. It’s so cleverly constructed, and I can’t remember the last time I saw a show where I loved the writing so much that I want to buy the fulls script so I can read it and annotate it to death. Mapeza does an admirable job as the younger Emilia, her bright-eyed naiveté and fierce resolve belying the script she constantly has to refer to. Playing Emilia from childhood to becoming a writer, from being the mistress of one lord to becoming the reluctant wife of another, her performance sets the tone for Emilia’s exploration of thwarted female desire and ambition. Reggio Emilia-inspired activities make use of diverse mediums so children can explore a wide range of materials while expressing themselves. Make sure little ones have access to a wide range of arts and crafts materials, so they can have new experiences beyond familiar art activities like colouring in. years ago Emilia Bassano wanted her voice to be heard. It wasn’t. Could she have been the “Dark Lady” of Shakespeare’s sonnets? What of her own poems? Why was her story erased from history? In a four-star review for LondonTheatre.co.uk, Mark Shenton said: "This is a play that speaks to today, as a woman finds her own story and the voice to tell it with. As fiercely embodied by not one but three actors - Saffron Coomber, Adelle Leonce and Clare Perkins - she comes alive with passion and conviction." Emiliais nominated for three Olivier Awards, including Best Entertainment or Comedy Play.

Emilia, with its all-female cast and creative team, is an interesting twist on the all-male companies of William Shakespeare. Shakespeare (played by Charity Wakefield) was Emilia’s lover and actually named two characters in his plays after her. Emilia is a reminder that even the most talented, clever and unique women in history struggled to find their place in the world. Mud play is an excellent sensory activity that allows children to explore and experiment in nature. Encourage learners to scoop, splat and mould in this hands on learning through play activity. Why not display this Mud Kitchen Skills Action Mat in your mud kitchen to show all of the skills that children practise when exploring mud?Celebrate women’s voices through the story of this trailblazing, forgotten woman. Stand up and be counted. Emilia isn’t a frothy tale about a sexy woman who writes poetry. It is an emotional rollercoaster with Clare Perkin’s final speech worth the 2hours and 30-minute running time. Both my friend and I were in tears and other audience members seemed supportive that these words were being said. If you loved Nell Gwynn, you will love Emilia. The story explores feminism, the power than men have over women, especially in this time period, and how men’s talents often massively overshadow those of women who were only there to marry men and not to explore their passions. Emilia Lanier née Bassano was one of the first English women to publish a book of poetry, the rumoured “Dark Lady” in Shakespeare’s sonnets and, as asserted by some, Shakespeare himself. This all-but-erased historical figure is the subject of Morgan Lloyd Malcolm’s Olivier award-winning play, which was first commissioned for Shakespeare’s Globe before heading to London’s West End. Three actors play the 16th century poet at different ages, with known facts about Emilia’s life overlaid with conjecture on her rich interiority, motivations and how her words were used against her and for her. verifyErrors }}{{ message }}{{ /verifyErrors }}{{
