Theatre teachers are forced to adapt constantly. Whether responding to advancing technologies, cuts to (or the growth of) their programme or ever-changing governmental mandates, they struggle to serve both their students and their craft. Using a theatre arts programme at one Midwestern high school, this book explores how change, good or ill, directly impacts students as well as teachers. Building on the work of the previous edition of Temporary Stages, Jo Beth Gonzalez shows teachers how to sustain confidence and outlines ‘critically conscious’ teaching, a technique that encourages students to practise self-agency and critical awareness. Essential reading for all theatre teachers, this indispensable resource is a font of innovative classroom and production practices.
'Temporary Stages offers powerful ideas for pre-service and practicing theatre teachers—as well as teachers of teachers—to contemplate. Directly relevant to teaching methods, yet far from a “how-to” text, the book inspires all readers with its fresh, provocative and accessible ideas.'
