As an actor who soon realised that she (a. liever)   discuss plays than
appear in them, Jacqui O’Hanlon, director of education at the Royal Shakespeare Company
may have been
(RSC) since 2008, (b. is misschien wel geweest)   one of Britain’s key
innovators in theatre education.
Passionate and friendly, O’Hanlon is enthusiastic and (c. wil best)   being
interviewed about the RSC’s Next Generation programme, her department’s first ‘talent
agenda’.
“Everything our busy education department has done (d. heeft moeten)   
stress inclusivity and we’ve remained totally committed to that,” she says. “But in every
school we work with, there’s always at least one outstandingly talented student in urgent
need of very specific support and development. We believe we (e. moeten
eigenlijk)   focus on hard-to-reach areas with a lot of poverty, so the
chances are she or he (f. niet in staat zal zijn)   realise how talented she
is. And the family (g. weet misschien niet)   where to turn for advice.”
“We (h. willen graag)   recruit twenty-five 12- to 18-year-olds from all
over the country and bring them to Stratford for acting workshop weekends and holiday
courses free of charge, with supported travel starting this autumn. In ten months from now
they (i. kunnen)   to present a piece of work.” And in a programme that
has already been piloted, forty-two talented backstage 14- to 18-year-olds (j. zullen mogen
doorbrengen)   a week working in teams on stage management and
props before presenting a scene from Shakespeare’s The Tempest.
The scheme is a major addition to the extensive range of work already achieved by
O’Hanlon’s department. Shakespeare (k. moet eigenlijk nooit)   be read
like a book – he wrote plays, not novels. You (l. moet het doen)   on your
feet, learning through applied rehearsal room techniques rather than sitting at desks. “Then
you see how Shakespeare’s language speaks to everyone,” O’Hanlon says. The company
(m. wil dat jongens en meisjes)   to start as young as possible before
negative cultural assumptions begin to bite.
This is why O’Hanlon and her colleagues published an influential manifesto in 2008: “Do it on
your feet. Start it younger. See it live.”
While performing in Kate O’Reilly’s Belonging at Birmingham Rep, O’Hanlon suddenly
realised that for a long time she (n. had willen)   to educate young people
rather than act. O’Hanlon (o. had ook mogen werken)   to work in the
National Theatre’s “wonderful education department” before eventually taking a short
contract at the RSC. “It was a 10-month contract but I’ve never left,” she says.
At first O’Hanlon had her doubts when they asked her cover Maria Evans’ maternity leave,
because the job came with a lot of responsibility. But then Evans informed them that she
(p. wilde niet)   to return. Meanwhile O’Hanlon had come to like the job
and (q. wilde best / was bereid)   taking over permanently as director of
education.
O’Hanlon’s department now goes into 1,800 schools a year, and she guesses they
(r. moeten)   working with more than half a million young people
throughout the UK. “We also have partnerships in the USA, China and other places,” she
says, before saying that Shakespeare (s. kan misschien worden
beschouwd)   “the world’s playwright” and “global property”. She adds:
“Shakespeare speaks to everyone and is the perfect playwright to bring into our diverse
classrooms.”
O’Hanlon says because the RSC (t. heeft kunnen)   to increase its sources
of income it (u. kan nu)   to offer a mixture of free and paid-for education
work. Until last month RSC artistic director Gregory Doran and his team (v. hadden
moeten)   work very hard to (w. kunnen)   have the
annual First Encounters With Shakespeare production, an abridged version of a play that
tours schools, ready just on time.
O’Hanlon (x. had kunnen noemen)   dozens of schools, but she cites as
examples schools in remote coastal towns that don’t have easy access to a big city and are a
long way from theatres. “So, there’s a national responsibility that we (y. zullen moeten
nemen)  , and I’m determined to do so,” she says.
