Live Theatre Web Series

This web series, created with the support of Networks of Expertise, explores how ākonga and kaiako see, engage with and explore live theatre in the classroom. Through the series you will find interesting conversations with artists and theatre companies discussing on how we engage with live theatre and bring it to life in the classroom. You will also be able to access advice and framing on teaching, learning and assessment. Some webisodes could be used in the classroom with students and some, you will want to access when doing your own planning. 

Each episode is accompanied by a PDF summary of what is covered, enabling you to hone in on information that is most relevant and useful to you.
