Summary
The project explores how creative school environments, relevant to drama studies, can use digital technologies in developing a better understanding of imaginary and real space.
Through dance performance and bodily movement it will evaluate the overlap of digital with real space, and how the use of digital technologies affects the students’ ability to imagine and talk about space and geometry.
This collaboration with Canterbury High School will be continuing as a strategic partnership through the University Outreach programme.
