Opis

This book explores the relationship between drama and social justice. Much has been written within the tradition of drama education and applied theatre based around the premise that drama can be a force for change within both individual lives and society more broadly. Despite this premise, and drama’s intrinsically entwined relationship with society, little has been written in terms of charting the nature of the relationship. This book seeks to unpack and understand this premise more comprehensively, purposefully and critically. Combining theoretical, historical and practical perspectives, Drama and Social Justice provides a wide-ranging exploration of the concept of social justice within the field of drama education and applied theatre.
