TIE research

TIE which stands for theater in education are organisations that help schools opertunity to social grow and a chance to perform they do this by relating there workshops and performances to lessons and adding criteria from the  curriculum our TIE performance teaches them that you should never give up and that working hard makes a difference to getting what u want also that manners are easy to come by . we have also used techniques from Brecht  and this will help them when devising there own theater pieces.
Tie was formed in 1965 by actor Roger Chapman at the Belgrade Theater Coventry.It was one of the first Theaters to be built after the 2nd world war.
Many TIE groups visit schools or youth centers to either make awareness like fire safety or similar as they go to teach specific skills like improvisation ,public speaking,confidence and social skills. our TIE performance teaches them that you should never give up and that working hard makes a difference to getting what u want also that manners are easy to come by . we have also used techniques from Brecht  and this will help them when devising there own theater pieces. we also used a visual stimulus  in the form of a picture with a political feature from this they have to create freeze frames and a short impro piece about what happening in the photo. i think that tie is great and that drama should be used more in everyday lesson like English for kids who have a disability or dyslexia as its shown visual involvement can be a better way of learning.

From the research i have done by looking at different schools and youth centers  i think it would be best to mainly focus on schools like Davidson school and Portslade community college as they both like the arts and i think they would benefit from us coming in and help with there gcses and give them a better understanding of what our college has to offer.
also i see from TIE experiences in the past that it would be good for us to also receive feedback about our performances. and i think using the suitcase in our performance will work well with both school curriculum  as this is what they are getting ready to use i know for a fact that pcc has  a brilliant lighting and staging facility perfect for what we need to do and so does Davidson  also i think having been given the chance to adapt our story lines and given the chance to modernize will help us hook the younger teen audiences. with the blend of fairy tale and panto making it light hearted we will not only be able to teach them skills we will also be able to show a message to our class. other people in my class are using physical theater so this would be really fun to teach them like frantic assembly specially after doing research they have a new show out. this would be very fun relevant to theater now a days this is typical of something involving t TIE.

maybe we could teach them a short part of our pieces and get them  to adapt a ending to it.
overall i think TIE should be used more in the curriculum and and the arts should be equally balanced with other subjects like maths science and English as not all people are academic.
