Process Drama in Action provides a clear and accessible analysis of the best practice when using process drama to support teachers. It gives a detailed analysis of the roles of actor, director, playwright that the teacher must adopt in order to deliver a complete process drama experience. It links theory with practice using detailed examples.
In this succinct and brilliant book, Pamela Bowell and Brian Heap map the dispositions and intentions necessary to co-create meaningful dramas with young people. Examining process drama from the minds of the actor, director, playwright and teacher, the authors provide a vital compass to successfully navigate the complex and multi-faceted spiral of creative exchange. Rich with examples of practice and written as a collegial dialogue, it complements their previous book, Planning Process Drama, by helping practitioners manage a drama beyond the planning as it unfolds in action. Offering specific and clear examples, this is an essential text to practitioners' and teachers' libraries.
