The organization is founded on the principle that education today requires a fresh examination of what is worth teaching and how to teach it. ISE undertakes a variety of educational tasks working cooperatively with other educational institutions, under grants from government agencies and private foundations. ISE is a catalystc for change. It does not just produce educational materials or techniques that arp innovative: it develops, in cooperation with teachers and administrators, procedures for effective install- ation of successful materials and techniques in the colleges. ISE is headed by'Dr. Elias Blake, Jr., a former teacher and is staffed by college teachers with experience in Working with disadvantaged youth and Black youth in educational settings both in predominantly Black and predominantly white colleges and schools. ISE's Board of Directors consists of persons in the higher education-system with histories of involvement in curriculum change. The Board members are: Vernon Alden Chairman of the Board, The Boston Company, Boston, Mass. Herman Branson President, Lincoln University Kingman Brewster, Jr. President, Yale University Donald Brown The Center for Research on Learning and Teaching, University of Michigan Arthur P. Davis Graduate Professor in English, Howard University Carl J. Dolce Dean, School of Education, North Carolina State University Alexander Heard Chancellor, Vanderbilt University Vivian Henderson President, Clark College Martin Jenkins Director, Urban Affairs, Council on Education Samuel Nabrit Executive Director,,Southern Fellowship Fund, Atlanta, Ga. Arthur Singer Vice President, Sloan Foundation, New York, New York Otis Singletary President, University of Kentucky C. Vann Woodward Professor of History, Yale University Stephen Wright Vice President of CEEB Jerrold Zacharias Professor of Physics, Massachusetts Institute of Technology ABOUT THE THIRTEEN-COLLEGE CURRICULUM PROGRAM , From 1967 to the present, ISE has been working cooperatively with the Thirteen-College'COnsortium in developing the. Thirteen-Cbilege Currioulut Program. The Thirteen-College Curriculdm Program is an educational experiment' that includes developing new curricular materials for the entire freshman year of college in the areas of English, mathematics, social science; physical science, and'biology and two sophomore year courses, humanities and philosophy. The program is designed to redUce the attrition rate of entering freshmen through well thought-out, new curricular materials, newteacking styles, and new faculty arrangements for instruction. In addition, the program seeks to alter the educational pattern of the institutions involved by changing blocks of courses rather than by developing single courses. In this sense, the Thirteen-College Curriculum Program is viewed not only as a curriculum pro- gram with a consistent set of academic goals for the separate courses, but i also as a vehicle to produce new and pertinent educational changes within the consortium institutions. At ISE, the program is directed by Dr. Frederick S. Humphries, Vice-President. The curricular developments for the special courses and evaluation of the program are provided by the following persons: ADMINISTRATION Dr. Elias Blake, Jr., President' Dr. Frederick S. Humphries, Vice President Ms. Bea Smith, Executive Assistant Mr. John Chism, Accountant Ms. Vivian Ernestine Brw, Assistant Accountant Ms. Particia M.

Gammon, Emily (M.A., Theatre) Student, Player, Spect-actor: Learning from Viola Spolin and Augusto Boal: Theatre Practice as Non-Traditional Pedagogy Thesis directed by Dr. Bud Coleman This thesis explores the possibility that by adapting a model of disciplined improvisation, the secondary classroom will become an engaging learning environment where a wider variety of student learning preferences and styles will be honored and cultivated. I believe that effective pedagogical theory and structure aligns with that of improvisational theatre models and by examining these models more closely and by comparing them with the theories of predominant educational theorists and psychologists, we will find both commonalities and effective teaching models and strategies. The theory and practice of Viola Spolin and Augusto Boal, supported by the theory of Lev Vygotsky and of Paulo Freire, respectively, provide two examples of non - traditional pedagogy for the secondary classroom.

    PERFORMED NEGOTIATIONS: The Historical Significance of the Second Wave Alternate Theatre in English Canada and Its Relationship to the Popular Tradition by Barbara Drennan B.F^., University of Windsor, 1973 A Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in the Department of Theatre We accept this dissertation as conforming to the required standard Michael R.

Scobie (Department of English) Dr. Malcolm Page, External Examiner (Department of English, Simon Fraser University) © Barbara Drennan, 1995 University of Victoria All rights reserved. This dissertation may not be reproduced in whole or in part, by photocopying or other means, without the permission of the author. Supervisor: Michael R. Booth ABSTRACT This doctoral project began in the early 1980s when 1 became involved in making a community theatre event on Salt Spring Island with a group of artists accomplished in disciplines other than theatre. The production was marked by an oiientation toward creating stage images rather than a literary text and by the playful exploitation of theatricality. This experiment in theatrical performance challenged my received ideas about theatre and drama. As a result of this experience, I began to see differences in original, small-venue productions which were considered part of the English-Canadian alternate theatre scene. I deter­ mined that the practitioners who created these events could be considered a second generation to the Alternate Theatre Movement of the 70s and settled on identifying their practice as Second Wave.
