E-raamat: Temporary Stages II: Critically Oriented Drama Education

'Temporary Stages offers powerful ideas for pre-service and practicing theatre teachersas well as teachers of teachersto contemplate. Directly relevant to teaching methods, yet far from a how-to text, the book inspires all readers with its fresh, provocative and accessible ideas.' -- Joan Lazarus, Head, BFA Theatre Studies Program, The University of Texas at Austin 'I was pleasantly surprised to read that teaching artists were engaged in the bold goal of developing a critical model of collaborative leadership for high school musical theatre. This kind of aim hardly ever shows up in strategic plans, mission statements, or on school websites. As Gonzalez makes clear, the infrastructure must be put in place to invite students to engage with the pedagogical and the aesthetic, but also to make them feel comfortable and validated.'  -- Dr. Lorenzo Garcia, Associate Professor of Theatre for Young Audiences, University of North Texas 'Temporary Stages integrates practice with research in ways both compelling and honest. Jo Beth Gonzalezs integrity, passion and forthright prose make this a useful addition for teachers interested in exploring social justice and identity through performance.'  -- Dr. Stephani Etheridge Woodson, Associate Director, School of Theatre & Film, Arizona State University 'This volume is an essential addition to the literature on high school theatre teaching. I believe it will take high school production and classroom practice into the twenty-first century and respond to shifts both in demographics and curriculum reform. It is essential reading for any student considering working in secondary education, whether in a formal classroom context, as a teaching artist, or in applied theatre.
