Teaching resources and tools for teaching drama, theatre, acting, and playmaking to preteens and teens.

Hi Khan, I am a theatre professor at U of Utah.  My speciality is in Child Drama/Youth Theatre/Theatre Education.  Looks like we will need to go online this summer and beyond.  Love Khan Academy, but find no exploration into my domain.  I also lecture on the connections between theatre and social cognitive neuroscience as it informs learning theory and best practice.  I particularly follow the research of Mary Helen Immordino-Yang at the Brain and Creativity Institute at USC, CA.  I often bounce my ideas off of her.  She speaks for her field when she and A. Demasio stated several years ago:  

“From the perspective of affective and social neuroscience, the purpose of education is to increase children’s abilities to recognize the complexities of situations, and to help them develop increasingly nuanced and sophisticated strategies for acting and responding.” 

This is exactly what drama does when engaging learners in creative drama and process drama improvisational forms, especially when applying teacher in-role strategies to intensify the rapid back and forth between emotional contagion and conscious reflection or error cascading intensified, which creates bandwidth for disposition building and inspired compassion perspective making.  With the brilliance of the teachers in Khan Academy, help me transfer these kind of experiences to live online structures.  Thanks you.
