London Drama Students' Welcome 2010

London Drama Students' Welcome 2010

led by PGCE Drama Tutors

Saturday 25 September 2010 9.30am to 3.30pm

Hello and Welcome to London and to London Drama!

Each year London Drama welcomes to London all the new students from the four PGCE Drama Courses at the London Colleges (plus Reading) and puts on a special event for them. This year our Welcome takes place on Saturday 25th September 2010 from 9.30am to 3.30pm and will be held at the Institute of Education (close to Russell Square tube - Map here.) It is called Starting Your Professional Development as a Drama Teacher and aims to do just that – provide you with useful experiences, resources, ideas and information to equip you on your journey as a successful drama teacher. It will be practical (of course) and will also provide you with an opportunity to share your ideas, establish networks and gain inspiration from other students.

The Course Leaders will be the following PGCE Drama Course leaders: Andy Kempe (Reading), Amanda Kipling (Goldsmiths) and Kenneth Taylor (Middlesex); Anton Franks is host at the Institute of Education. Each workshop leader will provide a different relevant focus to extend and support your drama teaching and everyone who attends will work with every tutor – so you won’t miss out on anything. The London Drama Bookstall will attend the event as well so you will have an opportunity to take advantage of the 5% discount on books. More details on Course Leaders and their Workshops here.
