A perfect creative partnership. RSC and Adobe. And you.
How Adobe and the Royal Shakespeare Company help you bring creativity into the classroom.
Adobe has joined forces with the RSC to champion the arts and creativity in education. This long-term partnership supports teachers and enhances the teaching and learning of Shakespeare in schools, and builds creative problem-solving skills to help prepare students for tomorrow’s workplace.
Reimagining Shakespeare to Boost Classroom Creativity.
Adobe and the RSC have worked with five UK artists and photographers to give iconic Shakespeare scenes from Romeo and Juliet, Macbeth and A Midsummer Night’s Dream a modern-day makeover. Photography, illustration and comic book artistry have been used to make the playwright’s work more relatable to today’s Instagram Generation and offer teachers a new creative approach to enhance their teaching of Shakespeare.

Want to get involved?
Get your hands on the First Encounters activity pack.
RSC and Adobe have developed a pack of activities specifically designed to support KS2-3 students attending a First Encounters with Shakespeare performance or studying The Merchant of Venice. These resources are intended to equip teachers to teach Shakespeare in new, engaging ways using Adobe Spark and Creative Cloud.
Why is creativity in the classroom important?
Students are native content creators. By infusing creative approaches to learning into any subject matter, they can be encouraged to think deeply about what it is to be human. This enables them to create and explore new ideas, building creative problem-solving skills.
These skills are essential if we want to equip young people with the skills and aptitudes they need to succeed in the workplace, and contribute positively to their communities and society at large.

Problem solving, critical thinking and creativity are the top three aptitudes children need to develop for future success. These skills are not typically addressed through the general curriculum. That’s where organisations like Adobe and RSC can help by building creative capacities that lead to skill sets for future success.
