What is Play Theory?
Play (verb) is an activity undertaken for pleasure or leisure not for a practical or serious purpose.
Play Theory was pioneered by H.S. Curtis, Mitchell & Mason, Rousseau and G. Stanley Hall. Lev Vygotskian, Jacques Le Coq and Gaultier have revolutionised how students play in a dramatic context working with the
physical body, imagination, traversing the mind and finding the game le jeu.
Modern day Play Theory sheds; preconceived notions and assumptions of what art is, self perceptions of 'artistic ability' and the how drama / culture is valued.
Play Theory provides a wonderful platform for an immersive, fun detailed exploration of the foundations of storytelling. Coupled with hybrid art techniques the theory and its practical application provides all the aforementioned with literacy, creative critical thinking, rich language oral skills and communal connection.
