Outside the Square
The DVD resource is nearing completion of a Term 3 trial in several schools throughout Queensland. Feedback from the trial schools includes:
“The ‘Outside the Square’ secondary drama unit is an intensive and thought provoking unit of study for senior students to explore.
One of the many highlights of this package is the in-depth integrated virtual artist in residence interviews, discussions and directorial visions offered by playwright Sue Rider.
This creative and explicitly planned unit of work is a must for any senior drama teacher to share and experiment with their students.” Jodie Davies - Head of Department, The Arts Rockhampton SHS
“The variety of learning experiences throughout the initial phase of the unit engaged all the students, and I like the way activities have been developed that utilise a whole variety of their senses and skills.
The themes have been tied together really well. The DVD has been incredibly useful as well. I regularly ask the students about different lessons, and all the feedback from them has been very positive as well. I don't have a single student who hasn't enjoyed the unit.” Cleo Smith Parklands Christian College
"I have often wondered how I can teach creativity and stimulate my students' imaginations in order to enhance and extend their own processes as theatre makers. This step by step and comprehensive DVD package has given me more tools and inspiration to be able to do this and both the boys and I have enjoyed the experience!"
