Over 2,500 Music and Drama teachers from around the UK flooded to the Business Design Centre in Islington in February for a packed couple of days of talks, performances, CPD sessions and practical workshops from a raft of top educators and theatre companies.

Education expert and Drama & Theatre writer Patrice Baldwin led one of the expo's first sessions, teaching delegates how to explore a picture book through drama. This is one of the key elements Baldwin has explored in Drama & Theatre through her Primary Drama Curriculum series (p24), which guides readers through the various ways teachers can introduce Drama within the rest of the core Primary curriculum. In her Expo session, Baldwin proposed various Drama strategies to investigate and extend text and images within a picture book for younger learners.
