Acting in Classroom Drama A Critical Analysis
Acting in Classroom Drama, by an acknowledged expert in the field, analyzes acting from an historical perspective. Each chapter presents an account of significant pioneers and trends in drama education. Bolton also argues convincingly for a reformation of classroom acting behaviors. He espouses diversity, exposing false dichotomies between process and product, play versus drama, drama versus theater. While acknowledging conceptual differences, Bolton exposes overlooked and highly significant commonalities. Given that our work ranges along a continuum between improvisation and staged plays, his approach is immediately usefula reformulation that makes a case for embracing many kinds of acting behaviors, from stage acting to acting out.
We recommend this book to all those engaged in any aspect of drama education.
