This is beginning to remind me of the false creation of battles in the 90's which proved so divisive, in my opinion, for Drama in Education. You had to be seen to be taking sides. Were you a supporter of Hornbrook or not? And so forth.
Forward to 2010 -National Conferences attended by 75 people for goodness sake.
The profile of Drama in Education is dimming again it seems to me.
I mention the far away look of colleagues as I promote MoE at meetings and I receive considerable acknowledgment from around the world that this is not uncommon.
As leaders in the field in the UK we promote outwards, always a good thing in my opinion, however, we work on the basis of only 25.
[ The current figure given by Luke ].
Many of my students are grounded in a reality that is defining an extremely narrow range of options for them at present. They are bold in their intent but very few of us seem to be listening to them. We hear them of course, but, so they tell me, we don't really think about what they are trying to tell us.
They don't believe me when I tell them 75 people are, and they don't find it credible when I tell them of the support they can get from 25 other people.
The figure is derisory, or so it seems to them.
Frankly who can disagree?
