Discover the insightful world of "A Pocket Full of Drama" by the talented author Sam Marsden, part of their Drama Resource Book Series. Sam's firsthand experience of teaching in both regular and non-traditional education settings gives you a real feel for how these books are put together. They're written so well for teachers, facilitators, or anyone keen on adding drama to their skill set. Each game and exercise is explained thoroughly and laid out well to make sure the person leading the activity knows exactly what they're doing. I've tried out the books myself and can confirm that there are plenty of really fun, new games to discover. Thank you Sam for your time.

‘Sam's work hopes to empower and spark people's creativity, whether through her drama teaching, teaching resources, or fiction’

Casey & I discussed his journey. From where he started, the Birmingham raised Grime Emcee had aspirations of being Birmingham’s biggest and brightest act. Casey didn’t stop there. This conversation is littered with inspiration and a dive into the mindset of a writer, performer and educator. Earlier this year Casey, the Birmingham Poet Laureate and winner of the Greater Birmingham Future Face of Arts and Culture 2020, showcased his new play ‘Grime Boy’, we discussed processes, where the play sits culturally in the city of Birmingham and how his writing now transcends his intended audiences.

Thank you Casey for your time.

Casey’s new book ‘From This Soil’ is available to buy here:

Inspiring conversation with Applied Theatre Researcher, Georgia Bowers. Her passion for Applied practice with older adults has contributed to her research ‘Applied Theatre and Older Adults: The Impact of Theatrical Engagement with Adults aged 65+’. Georgia’s research further evidences how transformational Applied Practice can be and how it is the duty of theatres, funders and practitioners to provide it. Thank you, Georgia for your time.

‘It is emerging that Applied Theatre with adults over 65 years can function as an intervention towards addressing shame and developing high levels of shame resilience. While positively contributing towards this age group’s sense of wellbeing, promoting empathy, feelings of joy, happiness and creating intergenerational relationships.’

Incredible conversation with Dr Nicola Abraham, (Senior Lecturer, Applied Theatre Practices, Royal Central School of Speech and Drama) and Victoria Ruddock, (Dementia Specialist Healthcare Support Worker, Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust) detailing their work on a range of Applied Theatre, film and VR projects in NHS hospitals. We discussed in detail how they have been developing new ‘person-centred’ approaches to creating bespoke artefacts, including VR 360 videos, intergenerational augmented reality-based process dramas with primary school children and older adult patients living with dementia.

A huge thank you to Nicola and Victoria for sharing their inspirational and innovative practice.
