Reader Review by Stephen Barker, Theodore, Australia Teachers of secondary drama will find Centre Stage by Mathew Clausen an invaluable resource. Covering all the key curriculum areas, it contains both practical and theoretical exercises and ideas for units of work, and includes 'side-bars' by specialist practitioners that draw links between study and professional practice. Includes lots of resources such as LX and SFX plot, set design and stage management pro-formas. References to Heinemann's website provide opportunities for further and deeper study of the individual topics covered. Available in a student and teacher edition. This text can be used for individual ideas, or as the basis for a self-contained drama program taught over two years. (Heinemann, 2004) |
