Just as doing is at the the heart of understanding so at the heart of drama and theatre in education is participation. Participation in drama and/or theatre combats the sense of isolation and powerlessness that is common today and is at the heart of all learning and life. Don't you agree?
We would therefore like to invite you to participate in our website to make it a truly drama website. This, our Education Phase section, is available for you to post news, information and pictures about the phase of education you work in on sub pages attached to this landing page. For example, the page attached to Primary has a sub page attached: Drama Champions, which in turn has two sub pages: Croydon Drama Champions and Southwark Drama Champions, where the work of these groups is described in order partly to inspire others. You can also join a London Drama Discussion Group at the link below.
