Members Forum (Members)
Members Forum (Members)
This is a new venture. We have become increasingly aware that many drama teachers work in isolation. Where there are school drama teams they work without contact with other schools. This was outlined in the last issue of Dialogue.
The idea for the Forum is to begin to map the range of drama contexts - and actively to put members in touch with others working in the same context: Creative Drama, Theatre Studies, Performing/Expressive Arts. This Session will be an opportunity to share current experiences of teaching Drama across the range. We will focus on current resourcing, and map ways of maintaining quality drama teaching within continuing curriculum change.
There will be time also to talk to colleagues about your next possible move career-wise.
Notes will be taken and the feedback will be circulated for further active development.
This course is FREE so won't add to your basket. To book please email us.
Tuesday 10th November: 6.30-8.30pm (Registration 6-6.30pm) at Central School of Speech and Drama (Room Y)
