#CATCA2017

Whatever you teach, drama can be an invaluable teaching tool. It engages students and helps them understand new concepts, visualise real-life scenarios, or review previous learning. I have seen countless 'Aha!' moments when students act it out and then finally 'get it' for the first time. In this session I'll share a variety of ways to bring a little more drama (the good kind) into your classroom.

How do we foster in our students a willingness to try? How do we teach them to hold each other up? How do we celebrate our mistakes together? Improvisation is a powerful tool that can teach courage, compassion, and empathy. Improvisational Theatre is not a game; it's an art form, and a lens through which we can change they way our students see the world.

Producing a school show can be a daunting task! This session will give teachers helpful and practical information from where to find your rights and music tracks to production week musts. We will address auditions, casting, training a crew, publicity, staging, costume design, set design, technical requirements, tips for a smooth production week, and how to reach out for help from parents. By the end of this session, you will be show ready!
