This book is well-suited to practising teachers, student teachers, education researchers, and those involved in arts education or creative industries interested in innovative pedagogical approaches.

This book brings dramaturgical thinking into educational contexts to provide current and future educators with a new set of tools from the field of theatre.

Description

The aim of this book is to contribute a dramaturgical perspective to education. The authors write from a dramaturgical perspective about the planning of teaching, leadership in the classroom, the teacher-body, the teacher’s oral skills and ethics, communication, and about the spaces in which teaching takes place.

The book is written with the pre-understanding that the ways in which art creates knowledge need to be illuminated and articulated more clearly in educational thinking, thereby enhancing artful engagement in education. Dramaturgical perspectives are presented as such a way – a form of knowledge that the artform of drama/theatre can contribute to teaching and learning in general.

Through examples and analyses of empirical material, as well as through theoretical perspectives, the authors show chapter by chapter how dramaturgy and a dramaturgically inspired language and concepts create more possibilities of choice for teachers in planning and carrying out their teaching.

Teaching and Learning through Dramaturgy brings to the forefront what will be enabled in teaching and planning of teaching, by making use of a dramaturgically inspired language and action, what in principle is possible in every subject.

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?

Rose Martin (PhD, Dance Studies), Associate Professor of Arts Education at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, highlights how the book’s focus on the 'realness' of teaching makes it vital for educators, students training to teach, and those studying teaching practices. She notes its broad exploration of leadership, bodily presence, space, voice, and more, showing how dramaturgy expands educational possibilities and helps educators navigate change artfully.

The book invites teachers to integrate dramaturgical thinking to support their aesthetic development and enrich their teaching planning.
