Day 1. A reread of this wonderful text by Inua Ellams in order to support my #gcse student who use this for their Live Theatre Evaluation. The language, blend of authentic communities, humour and vulnerability is real and raw. #AQA #Drama #DEI @MethuenDrama @NationalTheatre
Day 2. Watching #wutheringheights 🎭Stunning adaptation, the music, the VOICES (omg), the playfulness alongside deep dark emotions all on show! Powerful stuff & totally worth the wait! 🙏🏾@SussexDrama for igniting my drive into all things Kneehigh & Emma! @dramaonlinelib
@SussexDrama @dramaonlinelib Day 3. HARDtalk interview from the @BBC with @Sathnam around British imperial past. A thought provoking listen which will feature in future devising sow & my own reading list! @benniekara @DiverseEd2020 @BAMEedNetwork bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/w3…
@SussexDrama @dramaonlinelib @BBC @Sathnam @benniekara @DiverseEd2020 @BAMEedNetwork Day 4. ‘Maybe if we accepted that immigration is natural to humans (which it is after all) there would be more peace in the world.’ @lemnsissay What a play & novel! @BZephaniah Such depth & richness to share with my students. @MaryMyatt @MethuenDrama #qualitytexts #belonging
@SussexDrama @dramaonlinelib @BBC @Sathnam @benniekara @DiverseEd2020 @BAMEedNetwork @lemnsissay @BZephaniah @MaryMyatt @MethuenDrama Day 5: Streaming theatre again & this time The Great Wave. Taking me to a region I know well but a story I didn’t. Can’t wait for the #LitinColour talk with Francis Turley later next month to delve into the text more. Another option with @AQA on the drama specification. #learn
