The book offers a compelling combination of analyis and detailed description of aesthetic projects with young refugee arrivals in Australia. In it the authors present a framework that contextualises the intersections of refugee studies; resilience and trauma; and theatre and arts-based practice; setting out a context for understanding and valuing the complexity of drama in this growing area of applied theatre. Applied Theatre: Resettlement includes rich analysis of three aesthetic case studies in Primary; Secondary and Further Education contexts with young refugees. The case studies provide a unique insight into the different age specific needs of newly arrived young people. The authors detail how each group and educational context shaped diverse drama and aesthetic responses: the Primary school case study uses process drama as a method to enhance language acquisition and develop intercultural literacy; the Secondary school project focuses on Forum Theatre and peer teaching with young people as a means of enhancing language confidence and creating opportunities for cultural competency in the school community; and the further education case study explores work with unaccompanied minors and employs integrated multi art forms (poetry; art; drama; digital arts; clay sculptures and voice work) to increase confidence in language acquisition and explore different forms of expression and communication about the transition process. Through its careful framing of practice to speak to concerns of power; process; representation and ethics; the authors ensure the studies have an international relevance beyond their immediate context. Drama; Refugees and Resilience contributes to new professional knowledge building in the fields of applied theatre and refugee studies about the efficacy of drama practice in enhancing language acquisition; cultural settlement and pedagogy with newly arrived refugee young people.

It includes all different styles of clothing for all ages; and even talks about the dynamic of wrinkles. I am also very glad that this book shys away from that awful Christopher Hart art style.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. excellent bookBy J. LambornWhat I like about this book is that it give a great variety of clothing styles to use as examples. Even better than that; is that unlike many books that only depict one younger good looking body type ; this has many ages from children to very old. it also has a variety of poses throughout the book. we have already used this book many times in our short ownership.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Everything you need to know about drawing clothing ^^By VivienneI bought this book back in January when I had super trouble thinking of ideas for clothes for my original anime characters and such. This has helped A TON! Not only does it teach you where to put folds and different designs; it also entertains the common otaku by adding in some obvious Hetalia: Axis Powers/Hetalia: Wold Series characters in it as the models! In this book; you will find very strong Hetalia references and I find them quite adorable/awesome (especially when you reach the toddler and childrens fashion ;) )I highly recommend this book to anyone who needs ideas on clothing ^^ Good luck on your drawings!Vhirous.deviantart.com~
