Understanding the Artistry of Actors Who Create Theatre with and for Children
Andersen, Jennifer
Research in Drama Education, v25 n4 p484-497 2020
Actors create theatre with and for with children in diverse theatrical, educational and therapeutic contexts but little is known about the 'artistry' of their practice. This paper analyses a theatrical encounter between a child and an actor and identifies four key qualities of 'pedagogically tactful' (van Manen 2016) actor practice: listening, reciprocating, imagining and empathising. In doing so, the artistry of actors who work with children is interpreted as 'aesthetic judgement', involving a relationship between theatrical craft, pedagogy and care.
