What is Theatre in Education?
Theatre in education is used to encourage effective learning in schools. It calls for careful consideration of the audience's age and
requirements in order to engage them and get the message across. After the Second World War, people became aware that drama or
theatre techniques might be useful as a way of encouraging effective learning in schools. This is known as Theatre in education or ‘TIE’ for
short. The idea of a high impact performance for a specifically targeted school audience became hugely popular. Because the audiences
are small, they can be encouraged to participate.
Typical characteristics of TIE: Section B: Planning a Project

Section A: Context
The origin and birth of the blues is very closely linked to the history of the slave trade in America. African slaves brought their musical traditions with
them when they were transported to work in the North American colonies. Early types of African American music included spirituals (religious songs
using vocal harmony) and work songs. Slaves would sing work songs while working the plantations and religious spirituals in church. Combined with the
African rhythms, these musical styles were the foundation of blues. Work songs were sung rhythmically in time with the task being done. They used call
and response in which phrases from a lead singer were followed by the other singers. African music combined with the folk music of the white European
settlers to produce new styles of music. The early style of blues was known as country blues and was usually a solo singer accompanied on guitar or
piano sometimes with added harmonica or drums. The majority of blues musicians had descendants from Africa who were transported to America in the
slave trade.

Vocabulary Definition
/ Information
The word 'surrealism' (as well as the movement itself)
Surrealism was invented in France. In French 'sur' means 'above'.
So surreal means literally 'above real'.
Idiom They are words or phrases that aren't meant to
be taken literally. For example, if you say
someone has “cold feet,” it doesn't mean their
toes are actually cold. Rather, it means they're
nervous about something.
Metaphor Something is metaphorical when you use it to
stand for, or symbolize, another thing. E.g. Raining
cats and dogs”, “Life is a rollercoaster.”
Surrealism • The unconscious (not awake/ conscious)
• Irrational (not rational / sensible)
Themes • Dreams
• Automatism
• Juxtaposition
• Fantasy (imaginary)
Automatism Automatism is a bit like doodling. You just start
drawing or painting without a plan and let your
unconscious thoughts guide you. Unconscious
thoughts are thoughts buried in your brain that
you don’t know are there!
Juxtaposition Putting one thing next to another that wouldn’t
usually go together. E.g. An elephant with long
thin legs, or an elephant in a hat on a cloud.
Hybrid A thing made by combining two different
elements. So a hybrid creature could be a mix of
cockerel and an octopus or a turtle and a duck.
