The book offers sound advice on planning and managing drama across the curriculum from ages 5-14, and provides carefully annotated schemes of work complete with photocopiable resource sheets and online templates. Both experienced teachers of drama and non-specialists will appreciate the up-to-date research, new pedagogic examples, multisensory drama techniques and links to contemporary developments in education, such as play-based learning, learning outside the classroom and Philosophy for Children (P4C). With Drama in Mind is an invaluable source of inspiration for revitalising your teaching and stimulating pupils'' imaginations.Trade Review‘This new edition contains significant new research and thinking by one of the world's foremost thinkers and practitioners of drama education. It is a must-buy book for anyone interested in drama education from beginning teachers to experienced specialists. With Drama in Mind skilfully combines theory and practice in an accessible and user-friendly language. I couldn't recommend it more highly.' Peter O'Connor, Associate Professor and Director of the Critical Research Unit in Applied Theatre, University of Auckland, New Zealand'What Patrice Baldwin understands and communicates so well in With Drama in Mind is the understanding that we are childlike in nature throughout life. To engage in drama is to accelerate and sophisticate the process by which human brains learn best through play-based learning systems where tensions and conflicts unique to our species can be safely and productively explored and conquered. Bravo!' Xan S. Johnson, PhD., Professor of Theatre and Child Drama Specialist, University of Utah, USA‘A fascinating and well-researched book which details the obvious but long-missed point that experience influences brain development and learning. Through practical teaching ideas Patrice Baldwin demonstrates why drama teaching is so essential to the development of all children. Part guide and part pedagogy, this book empowers teachers to choose appropriate drama techniques, listen to their pupils and adapt approaches.' Kevin Piper, Education Consultant and Director of Creative Education, UKThis updated version of With Drama in Mind brings together a wealth of material that will be of interest to all those committed to high-quality educational experiences for young people. It fuses the best of progressive practice from the '60s and '70s with the most up-to-date evidence from the field of neuroscience. It introduces readers to emerging findings about links between cognitive development and the arts that illustrate the fundamental importance of drama education for young people. Offering an excellent blend of theory and practice this book is likely to appeal to all those involved in education that seek ways to readily apply new ideas in the classroom. Drama has always been a discipline that has broken new ground in education and with this book Patrice Baldwin clearly continues that tradition. -- David Parker, Director of Research, Impact and Learning, Creativity, Culture and Education, UKTable of ContentsForeword by Jonothan Neelands / Introduction / How to use this book / Part One: Drama for Learning / 1.

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Scarfed For Life
Book SynopsisA modern parable set against the backdrop of the first Old Firm clash of the season. Funny, hard-hitting and thought-provoking, the second edition of Scarfed for Life tells the story of two teenage friends caught in the crossfire of polite suburban prejudice and garden equipment. Ideal for secondary school students, the play draws on what sectarianism and prejudice actually mean to young Glaswegians, and how it affects them and their peers. Scarfed for Life is a hard-hitting play based on the experiences of discrimination and prejudice among the young people of Glasgow.The play toured secondary schools in Scotland in 2011 and Scottish prisons in 2013. The language in this edition has been revised specifically with school-age students in mind, and is an ideal, issue-led play for students 14+.Trade ReviewScarfed for Life is a loud, lively piece about sectarianism in Glasgow ... and uses a mix of broad, mouthy comedy and serious agitprop to tell the story of two teenage friends ... who both find themselves facing serious problems - bullying and violent aggression . . . A play like Scarfed for Life can play a useful role in challenging entrenched attitudes. * The Scotsman *

Bloomsbury USA 3pl Theatre in Education in Britain
Trade Review[Wooster's] timely book Theatre in Education in Britain [is] an insightful narrative and analysis of the conditions in which TIE was created ... Wooster's attempt to trace this development of theory within the TIE movement, its internal differences and outside influences, is, for me, the strength of the book ... There is much to recommend. * Journal of the National Association of Teachers of Drama *Theatre in Education in Britain will prove to be an invaluable resource for those studying the field for years to come … Wooster chronicles with intellectual rigour and insight, the origins and development of a movement whose achievements in primary and secondary education has too-often been ignored or devalued. * Wales Arts Review *With this text, Roger Wooster brings light and specificity to the evolution of theatre in education (TIE) as a practice, as a field, and as an art form…with a close look at its global germination in the local geography and polity of Britain. The book is a worthy read to the TIE field and all its kindred theatre forms, in Britain and beyond, as it chronicles a specific history with insights and implications for broader practical and theoretical realms. Wooster’s long career as a TIE company member, academic, and witness to the evolution of TIE lends clarity and credibility. … This eminently trustworthy volume encourages readers to realize progress and legitimacy as we claim and construct a shared history. It provides a specific, thorough, and accessible account of TIE within a British context over decades from an embedded informant with a global reach. … Theatre in Education in Britain is a timely treasure for TIE and the broader field/s in which it finds itself a member. It marks a mantle passing at that moment when lived experience for one becomes history to another. Thank you, Roger Wooster, for living, making, and writing an important piece of our history. * Theatre Topics *As TIE celebrates more than 50 years of existence, Wooster, a leader and practitioner of the movement, provides the field with a great gift, a book that uncovers and analyses the history of a movement that inspired so many others … This book is vital to our understanding of the influences and conditions necessary for this method to emerge … An essential contribution for those working in the field, devoted to progressive teaching and learning or anyone who loves theatre, education and its rich history. * Journal of Applied Arts & Health *Table of ContentsIllustrations Acknowledgements Foreword by Philip Taylor (NYU, USA) Preface Part One: Roots Chapter One: Society, Theatre, Education and the first TIE experiments 1965-1966 Chapter Two: The Development of the Theatre in Education Movement 1966-1976 Chapter Three: Pedagogical Maturity 1976-1990 Chapter Four: The Education Debate and the Era of ERA Afterword by Warwick Dobson (University of Victoria, Canada) Part Two: Fruits Chapter Five: Case Study: Careless Talk Chapter Six: Case Study: When Sleeping Dogs Awake Chapter Seven: The Aesthetics of TIE Chapter Eight: Making it and Making it Work Chapter Nine: International Perspectives and Influence Afterword by Chris Vine (CUNY, USA) Part Three: Shoots Chapter Ten: The Legacy of ERA: Funding and Programme Content Chapter Eleven: The Use and Abuse of Practice in contemporary TIE Chapter Twelve: Some Contemporary International TIE Programmes Chapter Thirteen: The Survivors: Case Studies of Contemporary TIE Programmes Chapter Fourteen: Conclusion: The Last Fifty Years of TIE Afterword by Anthony Jackson (University of Manchester, UK) Endnotes Bibliography Index
