As part of the 'Drama does the Bard' cross-curricular day where departments worked on delivering lessons that involved drama as a starting point, we created a one-hour workshop in response to 'Antony & Cleopatra'. We started with a simple analysis of the plot and characters using this presentation and responding to the paintings/depictions of the story in art history:Antony and cleopatra

We gave students an extract from the play that detailed a scene that could be visually interpreted. Year 7 students were asked to work in mixed groups of four and create a 'tableau' where they were photographed and then these were printed out and used as part of a collage to create a projection in the style of artist, Kara Walker:
The final results were good, albeit the whole process was incredibly rushed and would have benefited from at least being a 2-hour workshop. All the art teachers involved felt that this would make a interesting scheme of work and we will try to integrate what we have learnt into next year's programmes of study.
Here are the results:
