Within the framework of key-concept entries, readers will find valuable judgments and the viewpoints of researchers from North and South America, Europe, Asia, Africa, New Zealand and Australia. The volume clearly shows that drama/theatre educators and researchers have created a language, with its own grammar and lucid syntax. The concepts outlined convey the current knowledge of scholars, highlighting what they consider significant. Entries cover interdependent topics on teaching and learning, aesthetics and ethics, curricula and history, culture and community, various populations and their needs, theatre for young people, digital technology, narrative and pedagogy, research methods, Shakespeare and Brecht, other various modes of theatre and the education of theatre teachers. It aims to serve as the standard reference book for theatre/drama education researchers, policymakers, practitioners and students around the world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the two decades since the publication of the second edition, Learning Through Theatre has further established itself as an indispensable resource for scholars, practitioners and educators interested in the complex interrelations between teaching and learning, the performing arts, and society at large. Theatre in Education (TIE) has consistently been at the cutting edge of the ever-growing field of Applied Theatre; this comprehensively revised new edition makes an international case for why, and how, it will continue to shape ways in which the participatory arts contribute to the learning of young people (and increasingly, adults) in the 21st century. Drawing on the experiences and insights of theorists and practitioners from across the world, Learning Through Theatre shows how theatre can, and does, promote: participatory engagement; the use of innovative theatrical form; work with young people and adults in a range of educational settings; and social and personal change. Now transatlantically edited by Anthony Jackson and Chris Vine, Learning Through Theatre offers exhilarating new reflections on the book’s original aim: to define, describe and debate the salient features, and wider political context, of one of the most important – and radical – developments in contemporary theatre.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the first conceptual overview of current practices and debates in theatre education, Helen Nicholson explores the contribution that professional theatre practitioners make to the education of young people. She maps the environments in which theatre and learning meet, and looks at how the educational concerns and artistic inventiveness of people living in different times and places have inflected theatre and changed education. This inspiring book tells the story of ground-breaking developments of twentieth century theatre education, and explores the ways in which current theatre practitioners have upheld these radical traditions. Helen Nicholson investigates the effects on theatre education of a newly globalised economy, and asks pertinent questions such as: how can theatre education continue to encourage debates about social justice in the political landscape of the twenty-first century? How do the practices, policies and principles of theatre speak to different generations? Offering diverse illustrations of practice from around the world, Helen Nicholson draws on much personal experience and expert knowledge to demonstrate how cutting edge performance practices continue to engage young people today.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The works presented are moving and impressive; their authenticity and tone in harmony with the story teller's voice. The story itself may open new windows ... for those intent on enriching and humanizing what occurs in contemporary schools. - Maxine Greene A fabulous book for arts and theater education. -Merryl Goldberg Author of Integrating the Arts, Third Edition Are you a theatre teaching artist, or considering it? No matter what kind of educational setting you're in, the theatre skills you teach are intimately linked to your own artistry: you've got to know how to teach from your own practice while you learn to practice the art of teaching. The key is discovering how the educational setting, the students, and the stage link. A Teaching Artist at Work helps theatre teaching artists develop connections between their pedagogical and artistic selves. The book presents a framework for thinking about the work of teaching artists in general and theatre teaching artists in particular. Through descriptive examinations of practice, the book also provides theatre teaching artists and those who prepare and work beside them with concrete examples of three theatre-education projects in three different educational settings as well as the collaborative processes that helped them succeed. Replicable in other settings-such as community outreach programs, after school and summer programs hosted by professional theatres, and not-for-profit educational theatres-these projects provide a jumping-off point for others who work to create interesting theatre curriculum. In any educational setting, theatre teaching artists create spaces where teachers and students can envision a new, different, and exciting way of learning and doing that they can apply to theatre education and many other content areas. With emphasis on linking personal artistry with pedagogical artistry and examples drawn from McKean's own practice, A Teaching Artist At Work is an invaluable resource for teaching artists and the arts-education community.
Download or read book Geoff Gillham written by Geoff Gillham and published by Trentham Books Limited. This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For over 30 years, Geoff Gillham was a leading figure in Theatre in Education. Starting as the Artistic Director at the Cockpit Theatre in London, where he wrote, devised and directed memorable new plays and TIE programs, he went on to freelance work in the UK and internationally. He is the author of some 40 plays-all performed but never published. His untimely death from cancer in 2001 robbed Theatre in Education of its foremost playwright and practitioner. This invaluable collection focuses on young people's search for their humanness through their involvement with the plays, whether as actors or audience. The plays ASYLUM - a play for youth theaters with the scenes moving between the immigration officer and his wife and the immigrants themselves. "Asylum is a masterpiece of political theatre." -Edward Bond LESSONS - A play for TIE or youth theaters.

BONE CAGE - A play for TIE or youth theaters. Set in a fictional landscape with a war raging, a man is hauling a young girl to the bone yard. Another girl who has escaped into the hills while the man is asleep, tries to persuade her to leave him and come with her. The bone cage refers to her head that imprisons her and prevents her from leaving - or does it? DRESSING UP - STRIPPING DOWN - originally a play for community theaters, adapting the story of 'The Emperor's New Clothes' to show how naked of human ideas our political leaders are. THE KISS - a play commissioned by an Arts Center in Jordan and premiered there. It deals with the problems of young people growing up anywhere in the world today. WHEN SLEEPING DOGS AWAKE - a play for TIE or youth theaters. All the characters are stray dogs who hear that they are all to be rounded up and taken off in a van. The play looks at the horrific places racism can lead to. Geoff Gillham's plays are of immediate interest and relevance to today's theater in education workers, youth leaders interested in theater, teachers, student teachers and lecturers. Powerful and disturbing, and superbly crafted, they will appeal to everyone seriously interested in the education of young people through drama and theater. The plays are available to download as individual playscripts for performance. Details at www.trentham-books.co.uk
Download or read book Creativity in Theatre written by Suzanne Burgoyne and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-09-14 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: People who don’t know theatre may think the only creative artist in the field is the playwright--with actors, directors, and designers mere “interpreters” of the dramatist’s vision. Historically, however, creative mastery and power have passed through different hands. Sometimes, the playwright did the staging. In other periods, leading actors demanded plays be changed to fatten their roles. The late 19th and 20th centuries saw “the rise of the director,” in which director and playwright struggled for creative dominance. But no matter where the balance of power rested, good theatre artists of all kinds have created powerful experiences for their audience. The purpose of this volume is to bridge the interdisciplinary abyss between the study of creativity in theatre/drama and in other fields. Sharing theories, research findings, and pedagogical practices, the authors and I hope to stimulate discussion among creativity and theatre scholar/teachers, as well as multidisciplinary research. Theatre educators know from experience that performance classes enhance student creativity. This volume is the first to bring together perspectives from multiple disciplines on how drama pedagogy facilitates learning creativity. Drawing on current findings in cognitive science, as well as drama teachers’ lived experience, the contributors analyze how acting techniques train the imagination, allow students to explore alternate identities, and discover the confidence to take risks. The goal is to stimulate further multidisciplinary investigation of theatre education and creativity, with the intention of benefitting both fields.
Download or read book Signs of Change written by Joan Lazarus and published by Heinemann Drama. This book was released on 2004 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the world of secondary theatre education, the impetus for change can arise at any moment because the needs of our adolescents and the conditions under which we teach them are in constant motion. How do successful theatre teachers keep pace with change while continuing to create student-centered, life-changing educational experiences? As a veteran theatre educator, Joan Lazarus recognizes that there is no one-size-fits-all answer; that's why, in researching Signs of Change, she interviewed 100 different members of the field to see how real teachers cope with the shifting demands of theatre education. Lazarus gives you a glimpse of active, dynamic professionals in motion-hurdling obstacles, tweaking ideas, or completely overhauling their curriculum in response to the challenges their programs face. You'll go behind the scenes and discover theatre education innovations that work, methods to make them happen in your school, and inspiring stories of how these changes will improve both your teaching and the lives of your students. Change can come without warning and it can seem scary, but it can also stimulate a level of professional growth you never imagined possible. With her emphasis on best practices, hands-on activities drawn from her interviews, and rock-solid educational theory to back it all up, Joan Lazarus will change how you look at your practice, and how you look at change.
