‘Beyond’ is a section where I will be posting ideas and reflections on theatre and education in Japan and elsewhere.
This is a paper I had published at the end of last year in Mask & Gavel, a speech, drama & debate journal for language teachers and students who are interested using drama methods in the EFL classroom.
On April 25th, Japan entered lockdown for the third time, which has meant university classes have temporarily gone online.
In a 20-minute interview with Justin Davis on Retrospective Podcast, Chris talks about coming to Japan, writing the books, theatre in lockdown, Black Stripe Theatre and much more.
As you can see, one of the books is now in the hands of Shirayuri University students.
Aoyama Gakuin University orientation took place on April 3rd and it was the perfect time to launch the books.
