Description

This course focused on strategies and techniques for teaching creative drama and theatre with young people in primary and secondary school settings, including afterschool programming. Throughout the semester we sought to develop a shared vocabulary of theatre and education. In addition, students in this course focused on building their facilitation skills and establishing their teaching philosophy. The intersections of critical pedagogy and creative pedagogy were central to this component of the course. Community engaged learning experiences provided practical examples of theatre education in action.
