Summary
This chapter describes the Better Strangers/Shakespeare Reloaded project, which is a collaborative education research partnership between the University of Sydney and Barker College (Sydney). The project’s initial design and its philosophical grounding in complexity theory are discussed before a detailed account is given of one teacher’s long-term involvement in project activities. The chapter describes many research and teaching initiatives and outputs generated during the life of the project and explains how they represent a pursuit of educational ardenspaces. Such ardenspaces are argued to be a necessary response to overly constraining educational systems because they allow imagination, creativity and freedom to flourish in teaching and learning.
