Master Teacher
Tina came to the U.S. in 1974 when the Ford Foundation funded an eleven-month project for her to research the visceral roots of Elizabethan theater with five master teachers (Kristin Linklater, John Barton, B.H. Barry, John Broome, Trish Arnold), fifteen actors, and three managers. Through these projects, which Tina led throughout England and the US, her work has translated into the aesthetic and practical methods that Shakespeare and Company is based on and still practices to this day.
She has taught the whole canon one way or another at over thirty colleges in the U.S., including Harvard, M.I.T., and NYU. At Columbia, she taught in the M.B.A. program for four years, resulting in the publication of her book, Power Plays: Shakespeare’s Lessons in Leadership and Management with Deming Professor John Whitney.
