DRAMA, IDENTITY AND DIVERSITY: workshop for drama workers and teachers
Tue 23 March 2010
10am-3.30pm
Venue: Royal Exchange Theatre
Beginning with the simple question, “What If?”, drama can take children and young people on a journey of discovery. What if I was a refugee? What if I went to that school? What if I didn’t have any friends? What if everyone looked at me with suspicion?
Drama can enable us to create fictional characters and put them in fictional situations which reflect real people in the real world, without leaving the safety of the classroom. To give someone a name and a voice, in other words to humanize ‘the other’ can dramatically affect the way we see them.
Using some of these ideas as a starting point, this workshop will use
practical, accessible drama-based approaches to explore issues around
identity and diversity, and is suitable for everyone working with both young people and adults.
Cost: £50 (teachers & practitioners) / £30 student teachers
Book at Royal Exchange Box Office: 0161 833 9833
