Participative Acting Lessons for Adolescents

Developing new, practical perspectives

• methodical tools for motivating theater work
• taking the interests of adolescents seriously
• integrating adolescents in the creative process
• supporting personality development
• focuses on self-empowerment rather than on grades


This book continues the successful method from „Biographical Theater in School”. Meike Plath broadens the concept and focuses on working with students not too interested in education. The book provides important impulses for the development in schools – equality of opportunity, self-fulfillment of the individual, active participation in class and with the community.
Meike Plath’s approach is conclusive and tried-and-tested. It allows to also reach those adolescents who are often deemed conflicted.

The methodical components are illustrated with actual reports and countless practical materials complete the book and allow an easy implementation of the overall concept.
