This volume is the first book to map a broad range of practices and
critically examine the impact of education and outreach programmes
in theatres and theatre companies around the globe. This innovative
volume looks specifically at the manner in which theatres and
theatre companies engage in educational, outreach and community
work. An array of global case studies examines a wide range of
existing and innovative practices, and scrutinises how this work
achieves successful results and delivers impact and outcome on
investment. The editors set the scene briefly in terms of the
history of education in theatre organisations, and then move on to
chart some of the difficulties and challenges associated with this
work, as well as looking into the conceptual issues that need to be
interrogated so that we may understand the impact of outreach and
education work on the communities and audiences it aims to reach. A
range of theatre practitioners and academics describe their work,
its background, and what the authors understand to be successful
outcomes for both the participants and the theatres. Finally, the
book offers suggestions for both practitioners and researchers
regarding further development in this work.
