National Drama International Conference 2011
Drama - same difference
diversity and mutuality of process and practice
Swansea University, Wales
11th - 14th April 2011
The human need to make drama as a way to explore, understand and influence our relationships and our circumstances is universal. Where people exist so exists drama. Its diversity of form reflects the diversity of context, both cultural and political, in which we live our lives and the diversity of learning experiences we gain from taking part in it.
Through a series of thought-provoking keynotes, a choice of extended workshops and the opportunity to share practice, this major international event celebrates the diversity of drama and asks if there are mutualities of philosophy, process and practice that underpin it.

Cath Arun
