In the first conceptual overview of current practices and debates
in theatre education, Helen Nicholson explores the contribution
that professional theatre practitioners make to the education of
young people. She maps the environments in which theatre and
learning meet, and looks at how the educational concerns and
artistic inventiveness of people living in different times and
places have inflected theatre and changed education. This inspiring
book tells the story of ground-breaking developments of twentieth
century theatre education, and explores the ways in which current
theatre practitioners have upheld these radical traditions. Helen
Nicholson investigates the effects on theatre education of a newly
globalised economy, and asks pertinent questions such as: how can
theatre education continue to encourage debates about social
justice in the political landscape of the twenty-first century? How
do the practices, policies and principles of theatre speak to
different generations? Offering diverse illustrations of practice
from around the world, Helen Nicholson draws on much personal
experience and expert knowledge to demonstrate how cutting edge
performance practices continue to engage young people today.
