Launching into Drama as a Pedagogy of Hope 開展戲劇為希望教育學

Madonna Stinson

Abstract


The presentation draws on Paulo Freire’s Pedagogy of hope (1992) and his belief that we need hope in the way “a fish needs water”. In this book Freire charges us with the task to “unveil opportunities for hope, no matter what the obstacles may be”. Living through the first part of the 21st century has included us in many experiences that we may consider challenges to hopefulness. Madonna proposes drama as a pedagogy of hope and suggests our role, today and tomorrow, is to work in drama alongside our students to imagine, to hope, to empathise, and attempt to understand ourselves and others. 

Keywords: Hope, pedagogy, Freire, drama education, future, imagine 

* This is a keynote at "Launch 2013: Drama Queensland State Conference", which was organized, March 15-16, 2013, in Queensland Theatre Company, Brisbane.
