Online Discussion Groups for Theatre Teachers
Wed, 8 Mar 2006, 03:44 pmI am looking for a few online dicsussion groups for Theatre Arts Teachers. I have found a few but they are either pretty much dead or pay to register. So if you know any that are alive and kicking as well as free please let me know.

That was the origin of DramaWest site. Local actor and teacher Kim Flintoff set the DramaWest site up six or seven years ago. I gather Kim has since moved on to other things (a Masters degree and is it a PhD now?)
The new site allows most items of content to be categorised according to a range of items.
For example, you'll find that most things (forum topics, events, blogs...) can be categorised according to the sorts of people that may be interested in the content.
It's then possible to browse the website viewing just the content that fits that category.
I've just added the following categories and subcategories:
Teacher
-- Dance Teacher
-- Drama Teacher
-- Movement Teacher
-- Primary Teacher
-- Secondary Teacher
-- Voice Teacher
So you will be able to browse the new site for all content likely to be of interest to teachers generally - or for teachers in specific areas. Let me know if I need to add any!
Mind you, this all depends on my getting the new site up and people categorising their content meaningfully... but more on that later tonight. I have a young boy beckoning from the shower...
(Sheesh! what a thing to say on a theatre website!)
Cheers
Grant
