Preview The Routledge Companion to Drama in Education
THE ROUTLEDGE COMPANION TO DRAMA IN EDUCATION The Routledge Companion to Drama in Education is a comprehensive reference guide to this unique performance discipline, focusing on its process-oriented theatrical techniques, en- gagement of a broad spectrum of learners, its historical roots as a feld of inquiry and its transdisciplinary pedagogical practices. The book approaches drama in education (DE) from a wide range of perspectives, from leading scholars to teaching artists and school educators who specialise in DE teaching. It presents the central disciplinary conversations around key issues, including best practice in DE, aesthetics and artistry in teaching, the histories of DE, ideologies in drama and educa- tion, and concerns around access, inclusivity and justice. Including refections, lesson plans, programme designs, case studies and provocations from scholars, educators and community arts workers, this is the most robust and compre- hensive resource for those interested in DE’s past, present and future. Mary McAvoy is an Associate Professor of Theatre Education and Theatre for Youth at Arizona State University, USA. Peter O’Connor is Professor of Education and Director of the Centre for Arts and Social Transformation at the University of Auckland, New Zealand.
