Creative Drama


These authors’ ideas represent work that was done for a long time as a defense of theater in an educational environment. Read them carefully and choose one to be developed for you as an English teacher. Be creative and do it in your blog! Good luck!  All of the authors’ ideas are presented in their original form.

"Through the dramatic roles and worlds that are available vicariously in theatre and directly in process drama, we can learn both who we are and what we may be. It is this that makes the essential nature of both theatre and process drama profoundly educational" - Cecily O'Neill-

"Our aims are helping children to understand, so that...they are helped to face facts and to interpret them without prejudice; so that they develop a range and degree of identification with other people; so that they develop a set of principles, a set of consistent principles, by which they are going to live." -Gavin Bolton-

"...meaningful and personally useful theatre activity is the right and prerogative of all people, enabling all to maximize the culture of their race, class, gender, age or ability" - Jonothan Neelands-

Anything you can do to increase communication in your class will reduce your need to impose order by authority, and reduce the student’s need to rebel against that authority.
-John O. Stevens, Awareness-

  2. Civilization.

    Through the years our civilization have became in a simplistic civilization for many reasons: one of them could be the tecnology because now everything is easier to found on the internet, so, students doesn´t worry to the real meaning of learning and reasearch. Even, adults don´t look like a model to follow. I consider if it continuos children won´t be the future that we are waiting for.

  8. The emphatic civilization
    the video emphasizes on evolution of mankind has had
    at different levels, at the perceptual, cultural, social, and educational. Maybe now it has taken other nuances due to the boom that had some inventions, which make that future generations are more uncomplicated, but also simplistic, other introverts they are dedicated to live in their own world no matter how you live abroad. In addition, the division of labor has also changed, generating more disadvantages in society, creating alternatives that do not allow construction but destruction. Specifically educational level has been lost the real essence of teaching and learning, as other media shows little change knowledge, consumerism is winning the game you wanting to achieve a fair and better world by getting the cultural and further loss of progress.
    t is important to use in a positive way the progress we have now in our hands, not allowing these inventions we dominate our way of being, thinking and acting.

  9. "THE EMPHATIC CIVILIZATION"

    I consider that technological advances in civilization are important to improve and provide a better development in the processes that we normally do, but also has created a laziness in people because they do not want to learn for themselves, but looking for help to allow them to save yourself the work and the problems.

  11. In the world there have been three great eras who have made major changes in human life. The first era was the land where people had power for their land, periods of conquests were famous. This was ended in 1492 when America was discovered. From there began the industrial age. Any person who has capital to invest was the one who had the power. Large industries were created with thousands of employees to whom before slaves were called. Now we are in the information age and knowledge. For this reason the change is so fast that the investigations of science and technology are taken for thousands in a day.

  13. In my opinion, the Gavin Bolton`s thought is very relevant in now days , any way of cultural expression should have among into its objectives and goals a social function. Education is for life and everything that is useful to strengthen it into the school is important. Learning to recognize and accept the others is essential in this
    world, a world that lacks the human sense and the compassion for the others. Also is a great pedagogical tool, is very funny, ludic and can be explored in different ways.

    Nowadays in our civilization the technology has take an important place, thanks to it our knowledge could have a better development. The big problem is that we don´t know use it well, and we began to make several mistakes in our lives as students and teacher. We must get back the education process. And so build a better world.
