Cyberdrama : supporting young people's creative practice in a digital age

This article reflects on the impact of the digital revolution for pedagogy and processes that might be used in drama education. Specific case study examples have been used to identify processes, conventions and interactions which might be appropriate for creating drama online. The possibilities for extending on live and face-to-face drama processes are identified including: the provision of additional spaces for building and realising the drama, the possibility of having a wider audience for student work, more immediate returns for effort expended, enhanced multi-media skills and creative practice and opportunities for different forms of communication and collaboration than may exist in the classroom context.
