Review: National Drama: Empowering Teachers Conference

 Delegates came from across the UK, Ireland, Turkey, New York and New Delhi, and participants were welcomed into RHUL's drama department. The event launched in the beautiful Caryl Churchill Theatre, where the conference aims were established:

The Paper Birds started the sessions with a workshop encouraging physicality and using images as inspiration. Delegates quickly got to know each other while playing games and creating layered movements inspired by visual stimuli.

In the evening of day 1, RHUL presented a panel discussion with staff, alumni and current students. It was fascinating to trace a line between primary and secondary drama experiences through university and beyond. Hearing more about the RHUL research and the range of opportunities taken by their graduates was inspiring. It made me reflect upon my own former drama students who are RHUL graduates.
