NATD Conference
2007-09-14 09:07 Filed in: DiE
From NATD:
The natd conference this year will be in September. You can find full details at our temporary website http://www.wlv.ac.uk/~in5127/natd . The conference will be held at Stoke Rochford Hall in Lincolnshire http://www.stokerochfordhall.co.uk/.
This year, as an experiment, we’re offering up to 30 day-rate places for MA & PGCE students at a heavily subsidised rate. Instead of committing themselves for the whole weekend at a cost of £220, students will be able to attend for Saturday only, for a fee of £55.00. Students will be able to take advantage of keynotes from Dorothy Heathcote, Edward Bond & Paul Black – the leading thinker on assessment. In addition, they can select one 3 –hour workshop. Details are attached.
We’re doing this as a token of our support for the next generation of teachers and for those hard pressed institutions trying to fit a quart into a pint pot as they educate their students. We appreciate that this event will be happening just a few days after your course begins but there’s nothing like catching them while they’re keen! I’m sorry that it’s so late in the term to let you know about this but we hope your admin team will be able to pass details on to your students over the summer break.
Students would need to book their places with natd by the beginning of September. They do this by emailing Kirsty Fechter at Kingstone School k.fechter@barnsley.org no later than 5 September. Kirsty will be on holiday in August but will be able to deal with all bookings in early September.

The sixth international Applied Drama conference at the University of The sixth international Applied Drama conference at the University of Exeter
April 1-5, 2008
At a time when social, cultural and political differences are causing
conflict within and between families, neighbourhoods, communities, regions,
cities and nation states, and when social space is increasingly striated
along ethnic, linguistic, religious and nationalistic lines, the conference
seeks to examine the place of drama, theatre and performance in relation to
cross-cultural dialogue and coexistence. Contributions are invited that
engage with the following issues:
* Can drama, theatre or performance be used as a tool to promote
dialogue, negotiation and/or mediation between individuals or groups with
different interests? How?
* Does drama, theatre or performance have a role to play in conflict
management and resolution processes?
* What are dialogic performance practices and how do they allow for
the simultaneous coexistence of competing voices?
* What are the spatial, corporeal, visual, aural, etc. qualities of
dialogic performances?
* How do issues of place, history, memory, language and power figure
in cross-cultural work?
* How does performance act as a site of social and cultural exchange?
* What ethical issues arise for performance practitioners/researchers
working in conflict situations?
* When is conflict constructive and how can performance promote social
change?
* How do practitioners/researchers evaluate or assess the impact of
drama, theatre or performance on social cohesion and/or change.

Free TIE Show for Drama Teachers in the UK
2007-09-14 09:02 Filed in: DiE
On Wednesday 10th September from 4.30 - 6.30 p.m.
Solent People's Theatre will be performing their new
show 'The Wiltons' exclusively for an audience of
teachers - and it's completely free!
The combined performance and hi-tech workshop (with interactive voting equipment) deals with issues of Personal Finance. We'll also be showing it to our Yr 9s and to those Year 10 & 11s studying Drama/Performing Arts.
It would be great to have some 'facebook friends' from Drama Teachers in the UK come along. I would imagine that you might be able to use INSET funding for transport / cover as this show might help us find ways to deliver the 'Economic well-being' bit of Every Child Matters through Drama.
Here's a weblink to Solent People's Theatre Homepage & some blurb about the show:
http://www.solentpeoplestheatre.com/currentprojects/thewiltons/
At Home With The Wiltons
Meet the Wilton family, Ma, Pa, Granpa, Missy and John-boy in their first adventure into the perilous world of finance.
When Ma Wilton returns to work, Pa Wilton is only too happy to take control of the family finances. After all, how difficult can it be? Now free from the stresses of the workplace, lord of the house and the purse-strings Pa is itching to make some improvements…
And with a few small changes to their budget maybe he can finally afford some of the things he’s always wanted…
Like that big screen TV…
Join Pa Wilton in this hilarious farcical comedy as he learns about the economics of everyday life including…
Budgeting and money management ~ Expenditure, Earnings, Tax and Benefits
How banks work ~ Accounts, Interest
Borrowing ~ Consumer credit, Higher purchase and Illegal lenders
And asks the definitive question… ‘What is money?’
The Wiltons For Sale
The Wiltons return in their second madcap voyage into the world of finance.
After many years at home looking after the family Ma Wilton decides to return to the work place, after all she
worked in Sales before raising a family how much could it have changed?
Eager to impress as a telesales employee, flexing her creative muscle as a high flying estate agent or attracted by the glamour of the cut-throat time-share industry, Ma Wilton tries her hand at a diverse range of jobs, navigating her way through the complexities of commercial economy.
But as the more shady aspects of a certain new job begin to reveal themselves, the question looms… Does she have what it takes?
…And are her new colleagues really all they seem?...
Join Ma Wilton as she is thrust into the treacherous world of business finance and learns about:
Advertising
Trading standards
Consumerism
On Tour 11th September - 30th November 2007 |
