About Drama Facilitators

For this study, I am defining drama facilitators as people who deliver workshops in schools, theatres, community centres and other settings, for the purpose of creating - and by 'creating' I mean anything from a full-blown production to just being part of the process of what was created in the room.

​

I am not including specialist facilitators, who have a high-degree of knowledge in one specific area e.g. stage combat, movement, puppetry or improvisation. I am more interested in the 'jack-of-all-trades' drama facilitator who has to adapt to multiple settings, groups, themes and outcomes.

​

I am also not including Drama Therapists (who utilise drama strategies to encourage healing), or corporate facilitators using drama techniques to help businesses strategically 'think outside the box'. I am however including drama teachers who work in school settings, as although they are there to educate, drama teachers do so through creating.
