A New Book and Companion DVDs
By Author, Actor, Mime Artist and Teacher Richard Morse

Theatre: Its Healing Role in Education consists of a book and two companion DVDs.

The book’s fourteen chapters are organized into three sections:

Section One: Helping Our Young People features actual stories of young people who have been delivered from harrowing life circumstances through participation in theatre groups.

Section Two: Pioneers and Followers shows how the revolutionary thinking of Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Johann Pestalozzi, and Frederich Froebel led to the expansive array of methods used by the Theatre-in-Education Movement today.

Section Three: A History for Tomorrow connects past with present, showing the relevance of ancient healing traditions - including shamanism, masks, and clowning - to the healing process today.
