In this episode, we chat with Dr Cat Martin, a lecturer in Creative Arts and Drama and Lead Academic Coach for the Step Ahead program at Macquarie University. Cat unpacks what drama education really is beyond the school play, and shares simple techniques that any teacher can try, regardless of subject area. We discuss how drama can build empathy, confidence and language skills in students, and how it can be woven into other subjects like English and Science to deepen learning across the curriculum.
