Recenzii

How Drama Activates Learning is a timely addition to the drama and education literature, with much wider relevance beyond this community. Leading international drama education and applied theatre scholars are joined by emerging researchers to create this new compendium of evidence and insights into diverse research and case studies of practice. A dynamic range of practical examples, analysis and theoretical developments are shared in the realms of community development, learning contexts and curriculum areas including history, additional language learning, learning technologies and science. This book highlights convincing reasons for drama to be central to learning processes and interrogates the ways that these processes work. It clearly demonstrates the effectiveness of dramatic practice and research for enabling people to play an active role in imagining and creating future worlds.
This book provides powerful evidence for how drama encourages multiple ways to learn and how it animates learning in many different settings. It boasts an impressive cast of contributors, all of whom show why learning matters to theatre-makers, and why educationalists should take drama seriously.
How Drama Activates Learning beautifully interrogates the way in which drama can be set in motion across three key contexts - community engagement, life-long learning and curriculum interventions. This book will speak to both novices and experts in the use of drama in learning and highlights the transformative power drama has for learners in the 21st century.
