Project presentation Utrecht School of the Arts
In this presentation Thera Jonker, Utrecht School of the Arts, and Jarrod Francisco, Likeminds, will introduce and discuss their joint new initiative in theatre education. The purpose of the initiative is to find a way of formally recognizing the prior learning experience provided by participation in the informal sector.
In January 2009 eight candidates from four talent development groups entered the BA course in Theatre and Education. After a procedure of recognition of prior learning experiences they now follow a special track in the third year which will allow them to enrol in the regular 4th year in September 2009. The performers will introduce the audience to story telling in a 30 min workshop and afterwards they will reflect with the audience on the quality of their own learning experiences in an informal and formal learning environment.
