I believe the most important tradition in education is the art of storytelling. Stories connect us. They help us grow, learn about ourselves and develop empathy for the plight of others. Most importantly, they allow us to hope and dream.
It’s through storytelling that Drama and Theatre Studies teachers are empowered to transform and shape the lives and experiences of the young people we teach. And this is why I endeavour to choose shows that are going to get my students to reflect upon themselves, to see worlds beyond their own, and to see what is possible for their futures.
