London Drama Students' Welcome 2009
London Drama Students' Welcome 2009
led by PGCE Drama Tutors
Saturday 3 October 2009 10am to 3.30pm
Hello and Welcome to London and to London Drama!
Each year London Drama welcomes to London all the new students from the four PGCE Drama Courses at the London Colleges (plus Reading) and puts on a special event for them. This year our Welcome takes place on Saturday 3rd October 2009 from 10am to 3.30pm and will be held at the Institute of Education (close to Russell Square tube.) It is called Starting Your Professional Development as a Drama Teacher and aims to do just that – provide you with useful experiences, resources, ideas and information to equip you on your journey as a successful drama teacher. It will be practical (of course) and will also provide you with an opportunity to share your ideas, establish networks and gain inspiration from other students.
The Course Leaders will be three of the four London PGCE Drama Course leaders, Anton Franks (Institute, Host), Amanda Kipling (Goldsmiths) and Kenneth Taylor (Middlesex). Each workshop leader will provide a different relevant focus to extend and support your drama teaching and everyone who attends will work with every tutor – so you won’t miss out on anything. The London Drama Bookstall will attend the event as well so you will have an opportunity to take advantage of the 5% discount on books.
