THEATRE IN EDUCATION & DRAMA IN EDUCATION
Drama in Education In the school curriculum, this is both a method and a subject. As a curriculum subject, it uses various dramatic elements and acting out. In many high schools, drama is now a separate department. In some primary schools, it is used to teach a number of subjects.
Theatre in Education A professional team of trained and experienced actor-teachers who prepare relevant material, project, and experiments to be presented in schools often involving more than one visit. These programmes are usually devised and researched by the team/teachers, and are for small groups of one or two classes of a specific age. The aim of the programmes is educational, and uses theatre, drama in education, and teaching techniques for educational purposes. This work provides an educational aid, resource, and stimulus for both teachers and pupils, but to do so it may vary from place to place, total participation sessions to performance and discussion. Theatre in Education can be considered a method of work used by some companies all the time, and only occasionally by others. Many companies who use this method start from a strong left-wing or didactic approach to their subject matter, and they cannot be considered as mere tools of the education system. Rather, they act as outside questioners, looking at ideas and values in society.
