Site B – online seminars exploring key components of ‘being’ in role in process drama
Engaging experientially with the fictional world is central to process drama. The nature of this engagement and the characteristics of the fiction offer a number of important theoretical and practical questions to be discussed by drama practitioners. This series of ninety-minute online seminars discusses some of the key concepts through the analysis of moments of practice in five events led by an international group of experts.
Key elements discussed will be contextualisation, metaxis, protection into role, reflection, artistic form, the extreme and the tragic.
Seminar leaders: Prof. David Davis, Dr. Kostas Amoiropoulos, Chris Cooper, Cao Xi, Dr. Adam Bethlenfalvy (short bio below)
We invite professionals from all relevant areas who use educational drama and theatre with groups in formal and non-formal contexts. The event link and in some cases short, recommended readings related to the topics will be sent out prior to the event.
