Some approaches to creative drama at the secondary level in England

Abstract

Creative drama in the United States has centered on the elementary school level. This article describes some current approaches to creative drama at the secondary level in England. The teacher's role in the creative drama lesson is examined, and a number of different instructional approaches are outlined. These approaches include the standard situation of one teacher leading a class, of teachers working in a team, and a group of actor‐teachers building an improvisation around an historical event.
