What is Theatre Pedagogy?
Theatre pedagogy is all about using theatre to help people learn and grow. For students, this often means having special workshops before or after a play. These workshops help them understand the play better and think about its themes. The theatre also offers training for teachers. This helps teachers learn how to use theatre in their own classrooms to make learning more fun and engaging.
