Drama and Theatre Magazine Autumn 1 - 2015/16 Edición anterior

Women take centre stage in this issue of Teaching Drama as we examine shows and initiatives which promote roles for girls in the theatre. Our greenroom panel debate whether female students are marginalised by the range of scripts on offer in schools; Rachel Creaser looks at the ‘Platform’ script series which seeks to boost roles for young women in drama; and we visit Bend It Like Beckham: The Musical at the Phoenix Theatre. Plus, how Creative and Cultural Skills is making a career backstage accessible to thousands of students; dealing with controversial topics and adult themes in theatre trips; introducing the Musical Theatre & Drama Education Show, the new CPD conference for drama and performing arts teachers; advice on hiring sets; Keith Burt on shoring up the status of drama ahead of the EBacc; and North Wales’s new drama project aimed at reducing youth crime.
