Perspectives on Teaching Theatre

The genesis for "Perspectives on" "Teaching Theatre" can be traced back to the theme of the Association of Theatre in Higher Education's 1993 Annual Conference -Imaging the Future-, which focused on challenging curricular, pedagogical, and political issues in college theatre education. The writers in this volume, who are teachers of theatre, -imagine- the possibilities of educational reform in the context of the changing politics in our culture and society. Topics examined include the challenges and possibilities of teaching theatre in postmodern culture; issues of democracy and methods of empowering students in classroom and production work; ways for theory, pedagogy, and production to inform each other; and strategies for dealing with difference in theatre education."
