Drama Resource Recommended Reading
The Space to Move by Christian Darley
First and foremost, this is a book of stories. Stories of workshops with actors, classes with young children and drama sessions with trainee Army Officers. Christian Darley explains her approach through detailed and captivating accounts of moments in the rehearsal room, including quirky conversations and engaging descriptions of improvisations and rehearsals. Although there are exercises and methods in the book, this is not just a manual of movement, and does not require any technical knowledge.
Drama in the National Curriculum
The profile of drama in UK primary schools will soon be raised as a result of the New Primary Curriculum, which will be rolled out from September 2011. The curriculum will be organised around six broad areas of learning including direct subject teaching as well as a cross-curricular approach. Drama will be included as part of "Understanding the Arts", which advocates participation in a range of art forms – including art and design, drama, music and dance.
