7 Notes on Classroom Drama
' Men say that the young of all creatures cannot be quiet tn their bodies or in their voices, they are always wanting to move and cry out: some leaping and skipping, others uttering all sorts of cries.... Shall we begin then with the acknowledgement that education is first given through Apollo and the Muses? ' These observations were made by Plato some 2.300 years ago. Nowhere would they receive greater support than among the present teachers of creative drama in schools.
CHRISTOPHER HARBON , drama teacher at a London comprehensive school, shows how he involves his pupils in serious drama under conditions that are very far from ideal.
