CITY HALL
This focus day seeks to find the ways that theatre can be in and of itself educational - through defining a broader concept for what we mean by “education” and by understanding theatre as a holistic practice which stimulates and engages multiple intelligences, providing a way into “learning how to learn”. It seeks to explore aspects of theatre mediation, and how these connect to more traditional theatre in education approaches.
