The very spaces of schools are isolating, with classroom doors opening and shutting in long corridors. The curriculum is often siloed and distant from other disciplines and young people and adults spend hours in zombie-like trances, seemingly addicted to hand-held devices, yearning for affirmations of their existence. Drama invites us to connect with one another and come face to face with human beings. Drama invites us to ‘try on’ a lifestyle and language that may be unfamiliar. In addition, study after study has proven that literacy skills are strengthened and enhanced when the crafts of drama—expressive speaking, risk-taking, creativity, imaginative and cooperative thinking and doing—are infused into teaching and learning.","PeriodicalId":41180,"journal":{"name":"NJ-Drama Australia Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79062637","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Hogan","doi":"10.1080/14452294.2018.1509368","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/14452294.2018.1509368","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACT Little is known about how secondary drama students identify or utilise teacher feedback. This article presents findings from a study exploring how drama students describe their experiences of teacher feedback and how, or if, they apply this feedback to enhance their learning. Data collection and analysis focused on students’ experiences of teacher feedback occurring in three secondary drama classrooms in Queensland, Australia. Emergent findings suggest that drama students employ contextual, social and individual learning filters to assess the usefulness of teacher feedback. In the highly interactive and relational drama classroom, social filters can induce or hinder the existence of dialogic feedback. This can subsequently influence the drama students’ perspectives of the usefulness of teacher feedback. This article draws on the student voice to describe these social filters and suggests how drama teachers may culture opportunities for drama students to engage with dialogic and useful teacher feedback.","PeriodicalId":41180,"journal":{"name":"NJ-Drama Australia Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73180377","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Drawing on personal artefacts and a shared metaphor, we create narratives that consider Heathcote’s influence on our particular contexts and practice, particularly our work with Mantle of the Expert and Rolling Role. We describe the balancing act of honouring the work and ensuring it continues to be responsive in educational and cultural contexts very different to Heathcote’s own. We also consider the tensions of engaging in and representing the Heathcote tradition without having been directly taught by her. Framed as a personal exchange between two individuals, we suggest that this conversation is one that needs to occur as next generation practitioners and researchers in Drama education work together and repurpose her legacies of theory and practice to move the field into the future.","PeriodicalId":41180,"journal":{"name":"NJ-Drama Australia Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82253668","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Hosted at the University of Auckland’s Epsom campus, set close to Maungawhau Mount Eden an appropriately elevated location at the ‘bottom of the world’, delegates spent a week soaking up Aotearoa New Zealand’s unique culture with drama-in-education colleagues, research practitioners, writers and artists. This is the first IDIERI event to have been held in Aotearoa New Zealand and we were delighted to welcome our international guests with a powhiri, a traditional welcoming ceremony involving korero and waiata (speeches and song) led by Professor Peter O’Connor and to which Professor Tim Prentki responded on behalf of the Manuhiri (those of us being welcomed onto the campus for the first time). The Powhiri ended with an invitation to us all to share breath in a hongi, prepare to share plenty more singing, and to look forward to connecting with new friends, and reconnecting with familiar friends, many of whom had travelled great distances to be in Aotearoa for the week. ‘Six Months in a Leaky Boat’ by NZ band Split Enz (1982) became IDIERI 9’s theme song, and the lyrics seemed to reflect new meanings each time we sang it together. The concept of distance, of course, was the key theme for IDIERI 9. Specifically, the conference invited presenters and performers to consider how our drama in education practice may be shaped by our locations, or how we might conceptualise notions of travelling from a physical or affective perspective, or to consider the aesthetics and politics of distance. Whilst there was significant diversity across the keynote presentations, performances, panels, papers and workshops it became clear just how these ‘distances’ can impact our ideas and representations of self and other, identity formulation, and practice – in the contexts of aesthetic and knowledge exploration. The conference offered delegates a wealth of ways we might diminish limitations imposed on us in our drama in education research and practice by ‘distance’.","PeriodicalId":41180,"journal":{"name":"NJ-Drama Australia Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82476399","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Representations of projects can, in turn, effect public discourse about who participants are and why they are or are not ‘being well’. Like public policy, applied theatre for social change has to establish a problem that needs to be solved. Drawing on debates about change in applied theatre literature, we consider how funders, governments, and communities call on applied theatre practitioners to frame particular issues and/or people as problematic. We then examine discourses of well-being in Australia and New Zealand, drawing on policy documents and funding schemes to discuss the politics of change in applied theatre in each country. We consider how the field might navigate policies, technologies and public understandings of well-being, change and social good to produce work with and for participants in neoliberalised contexts.","PeriodicalId":41180,"journal":{"name":"NJ-Drama Australia Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72845227","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The analyses of the videotaped reflective interviews with the teachers and process dramas revealed a polyphonic picture of dialogicality in the teaching process, in which juxtapositions of communion and alterity are favoured. These findings may help drama teachers to become more conscious about the challenges and possibilities of generating a fluid and energised dialogicality in process drama.","PeriodicalId":41180,"journal":{"name":"NJ-Drama Australia Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84313898","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
