In 2011, as we move towards an Australian Curriculum for the arts, Drama Victoria invites consideration of all that an education in drama can Encompass.

Subthemes:

Scope
What constitutes rich, challenging and engaging education in drama and theatre?

Inclusion
How does diversity enhance the drama curriculum and how can we teach inclusively and for diversity in drama?

Direction
What are our ‘compasses’ for finding direction in drama education and what are some possible future directions?

Encompassing the Production Process
How does drama education enhance culture within the school environment and connect with its surrounding community?

The conference is the showcase event of the Drama Victoria calendar year. The annual event presents fascinating, informative and practically based keynotes, workshops, papers, presentations and performances for drama educators and educators interested in drama P–12 and tertiary.

• feature high-quality, innovative teaching and learning opportunities

The conference’s key mission is to engage drama teachers in a series of sessions that allow them to directly work with the key themes.
