Description 2013 was the second residency in a three-year project presented at Collingwood English Language School, where the student body is comprised of new refugees, students who have recently immigrated to Australia and those needing intensive English training. This second residency was based on Shakespeare's storytelling in A Midsummer Night's Dream and was presented over ten weeks from 18 July – 19 September by Melbourne-based Arts Education, Kerreen Ely-Harper, who is also a trained ESL teacher. Students performed their own devised stories in response to A Midsummer Night's Dream on the final day of the residency showing vastly improved comprehension and literacy skills, public speaking and self-confidence.
