identities are reflected and refracted through culture, theatre
education and creative learning. The second half attends to 21st
century theatre education, proposing a more explicit correlation
between contemporary theatre and theatre education. It considers
how theatre education in the country has arrived at its current
state and why it is often marginalised in national discourse.

contemporary theatre education across the three nations, reflecting
on how such practice is informed by and offers a challenge to
conceptions of place and nation. Drawing upon the latest research
and strategic thinking in culture and the arts, and providing over
thirty interviews and practitioner case studies, this book is
infused with a rigorous and detailed analysis of theatre education,
and illuminated by the voices and perspectives of innovative
theatre practitioners.
