Drama and Education provides a practical; comprehensive guide to drama as a tool for teaching and learning. It is among the first practical drama and performance textbooks that address brain-based; neuroscientific research; making the argument that creativity is necessary in our lives; that embodied learning is natural and essential; and that contextual learning helps us find our place in society in relationship to other peoples and cultures. As well as a historical and theoretical overview of the field; it provides rationale and techniques for several specific methodologies:?linear drama; process-oriented drama; drama for social justice; and performance art.Each approach is supplemented with sample lesson plans; activities; ideas for differentiation; and extensive bibliographies. The topics are discussed from five key angles:?bull; Historical and theoretical foundationsbull; Curricular applicationsbull; Practical toolkits for a range of classrooms and learning environmentsbull; Different strategies for lesson plansbull; Extension options for longer workshops.?Alongside these core methods; the integration of other innovative formsmdash;from performance art to Theatre of the Oppressedmdash;into drama-based learning is explored; as well as the pragmatic concerns such as assessment; planning; and advocacy for arts learning and arts education partnerships. ?Drama and Education is the comprehensive textbook for teachers and students on Applied Theatre and Theatre and Education courses.?
