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.
