Customer Reviews

A student's view

The theatre arts department at our school has been using dramawise for the IGCSE curriculum for Drama. It gives good foundation for students who wish to learn IB drama as well. Basic as well as subtle strategies in all aspects of theatre are written and clearly demonstrated to students. It was not vague or obscure at all, and is very useful for students.

Useful for international schools

I have been using this for a few years with international schools as an intro to 9/10th grade exam work. It has sensible chapters: tension, language, focus. It is not eurocentric. Refences to paintings are novel. Play excerpts are appropriate. The activities fit well. It is fairly free of jargon. Some dismiss it. I do not.
