Post #1-Sorry it's late

I was confused about what this reading was trying to say. Because I am such a praticle person, I wanted concrete examples of what was being suggested. I couldn't tell if the 2 theatre classroom examples were being critiqed or were considered good examples. I know that this isn't answering the question, but since I was confused about what the reading was saying, I find it hard to say how it relates to my future classroom. I am definently one of those teachers who wants people up and moving instead of listening to a lecture. Theatre lends itself to that; it's hard to teach theatre without getting people moving and doing what you are discussing. I see that as a good thing. Again, I couldn't tell if the reading thought that was good or not. I also agree that there is a wide variety of theatre texts to be explored in the classroom. I love devised and applied theatre, and plan on using those techniques in my classroom as well as more traditional performances and texts. The reading discussed these different texts, but I couldn't tell what it was suggesting we do witht hem. That's the best I can do, since I really was confused about what this was trying to say.
