Unfolding the cosmos or divining ‘what's up?’

Abstract

This short paper considers the question: what of the future of drama in education? It suggests that perhaps, because we are artists, the future is already in play. If that is so, then we need to address those questions of value, advocacy and marginalisation more rigorously while, at the same time, addressing the impact of technology on empathic development.

Keywords:

• curriculum of complexity
• measuring
• advocacy
• empathy
