Drama Education and Dramatherapy by Clive Holmwood

Drama Education and Dramatherapy by Clive Holmwood

This book examines the space between drama education and dramatherapy, examining the historical roots of drama education and dramatherapy, discussing how they are intrinsically linked, and exploring the social, political, therapeutic and artistic influences that have influenced these two professions over the last century.

"Holmwood add meaningful piece to a larger conversation as a drama therapy continues to mature in both the United Kingdom and internationally"

- Patrick Tomczyk, University of Alberta

"Both fresh and reassuringly familiar, this book is a welcome addition to the literature. Centrally, it reminds us that context is everything in both drama education and research. Elegantly and humanely structured on the admirable six pillars of Iceland’s education system (a country notable as one of the very few where drama is an entitlement for all children), its six sections offer vivid and engaging examples of practice-based drama research, by a mix of established and deservedly famous international educators and newer local voices, stitched coherently together by the sure hand of its editors. "

- John O'Toole, University of Melborne in Australia.
