Drama And Education: Performance Methodologies For Teaching And Learning - 9781138799516

Drama and Education is the comprehensive textbook for teachers and students on Applied Theatre and Theatre and Education courses. As well as a historical and theoretical overview of the field, it provides rationale and techniques for three specific methodologies: Linear Drama, Process-Oriented/In-Role Drama, and Drama for Social Change. Each approach is supplemented with sample lesson plans, activities, ideas for differentiation, and extensive bibliographies. The topics are discussed from five key angles: Historical and theoretical foundations; Curricular applications; Practical toolkits for a range of classrooms and learning environments; Different strategies for lesson plans; Extension options for longer workshops. Alongside these core methods, the integration of other innovative forms - from performance art to Theatre of the Oppressed - into drama-based learning is explored, as well as the pragmatic concerns such as funding applications, advocacy, and planning partnerships.
