Modern TIE

Useful newspaper article by The Gaurdian about the state of modern TIE. 

“As theatre education managers challenge themselves and satisfy funders with a seemingly constant race to think of more and more exciting ideas, I wonder whether we are also compromising a very basic, and now very unfashionable use for theatre in education – that of using performance as a way of directly promoting positive social change.” (The Gaurdian).
