Theatre in education

rdf:langString Theatre in education

rdf:langString Theatre in education (TIE) originated in Britain in 1965 and has continued to the present day. Monica Prendergast and Juliana Saxton cited TIE as "one of the two historic roots of applied theatre practice". TIE typically includes a theatre company performing in an educational setting (i.e. a school) for youth, including interactive and performative moments. The idea of a high-impact, child-centred performance for a specifically targeted school audience became hugely popular. Due to small audiences, students are encouraged to participate through work in-role and through debate. Student experimentation can be supported with resource materials and training or support for the students by teachers.
