Building a Critical Pedagogy in Applied Drama and Theatre Higher Education in Africa
from the 18th – 19th November 2011 at the Wits University Campus.
Building on and drawing from the previous three Africa Research conferences this year’s conference will bring specific focus to the pedagogy of Applied Drama and Theatre Practice. It will seek to evaluate and consolidate Applied Drama and Theatre teaching strategies, research and pedagogy within the South African and African Higher Education context, and will also provide an opportunity for practitioners and academics from the Applied Drama and Theatre context to evaluate their pedagogical approaches within a supportive framework of peers.
Focus: on tertiary and post school applied drama and theatre education and practice, with specific reference to postgraduate applied drama and theatre courses and programmes.
The conference will endeavour to ask questions and stimulate discussion around:
• ways of developing learner-based and research driven programmes
• broadening Applied Drama and Theatre programmes to address questions of human rights, social justice and cultural diversity in Africa
• courses of action to be taken to synthesize and integrate the insights that have already emerged from current findings on HIV/AIDS education, training and advocacy.
