Happy #WorldTheatreDay! Reading Jon Fosse's WTD message has me reflecting a lot on the intersections between arts, arts education, and anti-bias work (which also happens to be the intersection of my professional work experience). In today’s WTD message Fosse writes, “Art, good art, manages in its wonderful way to combine the utterly unique with the universal. It lets us understand what is different—what is foreign, you might say—as being universal. By doing so, art breaks through the boundaries between languages, geographical regions, countries. It brings together not just everyone’s individual qualities but also, in another sense, the individual characteristics of every group of people, for example of every nation. Art does this not by levelling differences and making everything the same, but, on the contrary, by showing us what is different from us…” When we talk about anti-bias education, we largely focus on four main pillars: Exploring Identity, Interpreting Differences, Challenging Bias, and Championing Justice. In many ways, this is exactly what arts education enables. The theatre education pedagogy of Creative Drama calls for participants to imagine, enact, and reflect upon the human experience. To borrow a phrase from Dr. Rudine Sims Bishop, the “mother” of multicultural children’s literature, I’d argue that arts education provides participants with “mirrors, windows and sliding glass doors” through which they can see themselves, the lived experiences of others, and the possibilities that exist in worlds beyond their own. In this way, while art can help to illuminate the fact that what is “different” and “unknown” is also inherently universal, anti-bias work at its core strives to make universal the fact that every group has its own lived experiences and feelings of oppression. One experience is not greater than the other; rather, they are intertwined. We must understand this in order to see the way towards and work for a better future. What other connections do you see between these fields? I’d love to hear your thoughts!

“While experts have long espoused the idea that exposure to the arts plays a critical role in primary and secondary schooling, education systems globally have continually failed to hold it in high regard.” The recent “Grown-Up Theater Kids Run the World” article cited this. #artseducation #theatre #education #art #music #musiceducation #danceeducation

#ArtIntegration #curriculum If a school has a music, art, drama, or dance teacher, their approach is most likely and primarily Arts as Curriculum. Students develop knowledge and skills in a particular art form. Often referred to as “arts learning” or “art for art’s sake,” the programs are guided by national, state, or local standards for each of the art forms. For example, in visual arts, students learn the content, processes, and techniques for two- or three-dimensional work. They learn how the visual arts developed and changed throughout history, and engage in creating and analyzing works created in a variety of media. CBSE Capacity building program

Experienced Leading Teacher, Learning Specialist, Head of Performing Arts, Production Manager, Educator, Director, Producer and Performer
Cultivating a culture centred around school productions entails more than merely staging a musical; it involves nurturing a sense of community. We encountered a situation recently where we had to make the tough decision of postponing our 2023 production due to a significant injury sustained by our lead male performer. This delay had substantial repercussions throughout our school. However, as the situation settled and new dates were arranged, our students began to comprehend the rationale behind not rushing to stage the production. During this time, our students gained an appreciation for the significance of prioritising safety in performance practices. They developed an understanding of the well-being that thrives within our performing arts community. Establishing a culture of safe performance practices is crucial for students' development. Without this awareness, students might take uninformed risks on stage, such as standing on unsecured wheeled tables or pushing through vocal injuries. Being educators in the performing arts, it is of utmost importance that we nurture a culture placing safety and growth at the forefront. This, in turn, contributes to the cultivation of a stronger sense of community, where the well-being of individuals is recognised as a vital component within the creative process. 2022 Production of The SpongeBob Musical
