How Can Drama Stimulate Writing?

How Can Drama Stimulate Writing?

How Can Drama Stimulate Writing?

This workshop, led by Dr. Joe Winston, Professor of Drama and Arts Education, University of Warwick, will explore the ways in which Drama can stimulate the process of writing at Primary and early Secondary level.

In the light of forthcoming Government initiatives on the teaching of writing in Primary schools via the new draft Primary curriculum this event focuses on the ways Drama can facilitate writing for Primary and early Secondary pupils. The draft Primary English curriculum appears to eradicate Drama along with the Speaking and Listening strand but this event will demonstrate in practical ways that Drama can humanise and contextualise the process of writing for your children on their journey to become authors themselves.

It will also equip you with many useful drama strategies for use in your teaching generally.

Workshop Programme here.

Joe Winston is Professor of Drama and Arts Education at the University of Warwick, UK, where he is co-ordinator of the MA in Drama and Theatre Education. He is co-editor of Research in Drama Education: the Journal of Applied Theatre and Performance, generally rated as the leading academic journal in its field.
