"Where the Wild Things Are” Joanne Clark

I will share the process of devising a performance with a group of year 7 & 8 students. The context is a group of 20 students who have selected Physical Theatre as an option in a connected curriculum arts project. It is a diverse group in terms of literacy with a number of priority learners. We used "Where the Wild Things Are" as a context. [still in progress as I write but, whatever the outcome, the journey has been wonderful]
Joanne Clark has taught through drama in a variety of contexts over 30 years. Currently she teaches in a high school which has been extended to include year 7 & 8.
She studied Speech & Drama doing Trinity College qualifications and has an MA in English from the University of Canterbury.
Joanne is interested in students learning and developing literacy, creativity and empathy through a Drama context.
