Drama class 101:

Nature is drama in its original form.

Nature is life.

We are life personified.

Drama is expression of life.

Leaning in to each other.

Making room for each other.

Our spaces, ideas, voices, bodies.

Being equal in our differences.

Feeling secure, allowing growth, protecting and encouraging.

The Arts are thriving; the grass roots communities making theatre, music, art and more! Find your creativity and soar!

“Don’t treat children as the same or over-programme them, they find their talents by trying things out.”

Sir Ken Robinson with Kirsty Young on Desert Island Discs in 2013

23 years later teachers are still fighting the good fight, now accepting that standardised testing is not going anywhere but that we must underpin that with a bedrock of wellbeing, practical, creative and versatile instruction to balance the scale to allow all children, pupils and students the space to explore and thrive during their formative and education years.

The image shows an example of thenintegral nature of abstraction and realism. By Janet Dawson.
