Reviews
“Creating Performances for Teaching and Learning: A Practice Session for Pedagogy offers a jolt of inspiration for teachers, artists, creative practitioners, activists, and students committed to pedagogical processes and educational spaces as potentially transformative realms. … This book should appeal to scholar-artists, activists, teachers-in-training, arts facilitators, and graduate and undergraduate students invested in social justice-based teaching and learning, particularly in the fields of performance studies, communication, education, cultural studies, theater, art, music, and creative writing.” (Deanna B. Shoemaker, Textand Performance Quarterly, January 28, 2021)
“With their “practice session” framework, McRae and Huber highlight the immense potential of classroom spaces as sites of routine, repetition, and rehearsal—of experimentation, improvisation, and risk. Part invitation, part instruction manual, part art project, this book embodies the metaphor it proposes—calling me to practice critical teaching artfully.” (Amy K. Kilgard, Associate Professor of Performance Studies, San Francisco State University, USA)Authors and Affiliations
