In that time she became the inspiration and role model for generations of teachers across the world who recognised in her unique approach the means by which to profoundly engage students and young people with their learning.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:20.0pt;text-align:justify;mso-pagination: none;mso-layout-grid-align:none;text-autospace:none"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:21.0pt;font-family:Arial;mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;mso-ansi-language:EN-US">It was in 1945 that the headlines in the Yorkshire Post announced: ‘Weaver Gets Chance of Stage Career’ and, indeed, Dorothy trained as an actress, her fees paid for by the mill manager. But, much as she enjoyed acting, her vision extended beyond the stage to the use of theatre as an educational construct. She instinctively recognised the natural human predisposition to use drama as a means of exploring and understanding the world and of developing the fundamental life skills needed for it. With that recognition, Dorothy set herself the task of translating her vision into a classroom practice for all ages that continues to be inspirational to millions.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:20.0pt;text-align:justify;mso-pagination: none;mso-layout-grid-align:none;text-autospace:none"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:21.0pt;font-family:Arial;mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;mso-ansi-language:EN-US">Her gift was in being able to touch people and give everything she knew away to those who were interested. Her legacy is that so many were interested and, standing on her shoulders, they continue the work of a genius who is for many, the greatest drama teacher of all.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:20.0pt;text-align:justify;mso-pagination: none;mso-layout-grid-align:none;text-autospace:none"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:21.0pt;font-family:Arial;mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;mso-ansi-language:EN-US">Dorothy remained at Newcastle when it became a university in its own right in 1962. From the School of Education there, word of the charismatic young drama teacher soon began to spread. Her openness of spirit and radical, new pedagogy drew a stream of postgraduate students to Newcastle. She generously welcomed many into her own home and her husband, Raymond and their daughter, Marianne, became used to sharing the house with an annually changing group of temporary residents from home and abroad.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:20.0pt;text-align:justify;mso-pagination: none;mso-layout-grid-align:none;text-autospace:none"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:21.0pt;font-family:Arial;mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;mso-ansi-language:EN-US">Dorothy created a whole school of drama practice based around the teacher shifting her pedagogy from that of an instructor to inductor, coach, facilitator and fellow artist, recognising the potency for learning of a co-creative process in which learners are empowered. She created a vocabulary of terminology such as drama for learning, drama conventions, teacher in and out of role, secondary role, Rolling Role, Chamber Theatre, Frame, Signing, Mantle of the Expert and Commissioning that is now in the canon of world-wide dramatic teaching expertise and curriculum models pioneered by her deeply held mission to bring joy and challenge into learning.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:20.0pt;text-align:justify;mso-pagination: none;mso-layout-grid-align:none;text-autospace:none"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:21.0pt;font-family:Arial;mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;mso-ansi-language:EN-US">As her students returned to their places of work, Dorothy’s influence was carried with them and this precipitated an enduring torrent of invitations to work with children, young people, teachers and students across the globe. She accepted them, pioneering the use of drama as a learning process for the world in a wide range of contexts, for example, in townships such as Soweto in South Africa; in New Zealand with Maori communities; in the depths of inner cities in the UK, and in numerous countries throughout Europe, Asia, Africa, North America and Australasia. She also worked in borstal institutions in the UK and USA; in residential care homes and learning centres for people with significant disability; in special schools and with those who work with very vulnerable people. Even during her final illness, she found creative ways of contributing; through video-conferencing, for example.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:20.0pt;text-align:justify;mso-pagination: none;mso-layout-grid-align:none;text-autospace:none"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:21.0pt;font-family:Arial;mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;mso-ansi-language:EN-US">However, wherever Dorothy was working in the world she always tried to catch the earliest flight home, and remained ‘Dorothy the home-maker’. Her heart was first and foremost with her family; to her neighbours and close friends she was always ‘Dorothy the cook, the bread-maker, the seamstress, the gardener’. She was famous for rising early to prepare for the day alongside her favourite cat and the AGA. She always had a book with her wherever she went, and was an avid letter writer. She loved family days out at National Trust properties and going to the theatre, and supported her granddaughter, Anna, in all her theatrical and dancing endeavours.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:20.0pt;text-align:justify;mso-pagination: none;mso-layout-grid-align:none;text-autospace:none"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:21.0pt;font-family:Arial;mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;mso-ansi-language:EN-US">In Newcastle, her pioneering methods reached the Medical School where many films focussing on dramatic reconstructing of medical issues were used in the training of medics. Similarly, she became engaged with British Gas senior managers who had become aware of the methods and adopted structures using dramatic contexts to teach their managerial staff new skills for the workplace. This relationship was soon followed by others with Volkswagen, UK, the NHS and more recently with the Crown Prosecution Service and the professional theatre.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:20.0pt;text-align:justify;mso-pagination: none;mso-layout-grid-align:none;text-autospace:none"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:21.0pt;font-family:Arial;mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;mso-ansi-language:EN-US">Dorothy’s was an endlessly engaged and enquiring mind with a creativity of thought that enabled her to see the connections between her work and that of others across a spectrum of disciplines. She was never complacent and until very shortly before her death was continuing to develop and refine her practice. This resulted in a richly textured pedagogy with a density of resonance that excited and inspired both the participants in her dramas and all those who strove and continue to strive to emulate them.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:20.0pt;text-align:justify;mso-pagination: none;mso-layout-grid-align:none;text-autospace:none"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:21.0pt;font-family:Arial;mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;mso-ansi-language:EN-US">Her accolades have also been many, resulting in honorary doctorates from The University of Newcastle-upon-Tyne and the University of Derby; honours from and patronage of national and international professional bodies, such as National Drama and NATD; invitations to address the most prestigious gatherings, especially in New York; and of course through her writings and collaborations with her eminent students who had reached similar heights through her training. As early as 1974 the BBC produced a remarkable film about her practice, <i>Three Looms Waiting</i>, which can still be found on UTube. She was awarded an MBE in the Queen's Birthday Honours list on 11th June 2011, which she was due to collect at Buckingham Palace on 18th October. Knowing that she had already received the honour, it was her wish for her family - who have carried the name Heathcote forward through two more generations - to collect the medal posthumously.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:20.0pt;text-align:justify;mso-pagination: none;mso-layout-grid-align:none;text-autospace:none"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:21.0pt;font-family:Arial;mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;mso-ansi-language:EN-US">Addressing a gathering of teachers she once remarked, “I shall look forward to death” and when people gasped she said cheerily “not in any morbid sense of course, but rather as looking forward to the greatest and most mysterious adventure of all”. Dorothy’s ‘adventure’ began on 8th October 2011 when she died as a result of the blood disorder, MDS.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <!--EndFragment-->Theatre Companyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05466820385483996917noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8438145853309365511.post-15492153361540667822011-08-18T05:35:00.000-07:002011-08-18T05:52:35.146-07:00Creative Development - a great offer.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPDS6CNFDrmF5wcJLGXY6d-_m5YUjyFW_2HYAWNKRrlW83ylwlKIWOr2KyFZLhs0KMIcme7Ns2LR88Lpy7cHbmTsfrqOa3-n7cs268JytbmDPp8Uu26E3-YNXLefubavvTLU1t08WV9Kr9/s1600/simorgh3.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 91px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPDS6CNFDrmF5wcJLGXY6d-_m5YUjyFW_2HYAWNKRrlW83ylwlKIWOr2KyFZLhs0KMIcme7Ns2LR88Lpy7cHbmTsfrqOa3-n7cs268JytbmDPp8Uu26E3-YNXLefubavvTLU1t08WV9Kr9/s200/simorgh3.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5642174878838522114" /></a><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align:none; text-autospace:none"><b><span lang="EN-US" style=" ;font-family:Arial-BoldItalicMT;font-size:130%;">Red Earth Theatre is the facilitating organisation for the simorgh network.</span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align:none; text-autospace:none"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-family:Arial-BoldItalicMT;font-size:130%;"><b><i>simorgh </i></b>is a Midlands-based network.

The students made and road-tested a prototype water box. Placed on a speaker, the water in the box responds to the different sound waves produced by the music. Different wave patterns emerge as the music changes.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Have a look at the video to see how it works. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">D/deaf volunteers gave their responses. They thought the visualisation of sound waves like this would help them access music in a theatre performance. They thought that Red Earth Theatre could project these patterns on to their stage sets, alongside the performers. The audience could link the action to the music. If the water was lit, with different colours to suggest the mood of the music as well, that would be even better.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Thanks to CURVE, Leicester, The Ear Foundation, Nottingham, 3D (Derby Deaf Drama) and Will Ogden for their help in our research.</span></div>Theatre Companyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05466820385483996917noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8438145853309365511.post-69167565091699230892010-05-12T09:05:00.000-07:002010-05-13T01:59:11.929-07:00The Feeling of Sound<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUuAu-JSBno4_MbbjR9ALssuPn-rljFsVgJpHVz6JjPIRUWwfy6lqnroNsex20scUOaY9JIKGuPtYpYlRd2VfIoJOPiBVp7JCKDnDHSTSAHOeWJVAFdDbDXTZuppAW59sIBFKijTtMVvXA/s1600/IMG_2096.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUuAu-JSBno4_MbbjR9ALssuPn-rljFsVgJpHVz6JjPIRUWwfy6lqnroNsex20scUOaY9JIKGuPtYpYlRd2VfIoJOPiBVp7JCKDnDHSTSAHOeWJVAFdDbDXTZuppAW59sIBFKijTtMVvXA/s320/IMG_2096.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5470427532292231362" /></a><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhG5a2FASTz-BQwmyGnL_KqLzUvAWDKwFmeFmOB7GW7-FPzh3g_ZbCUJjvVXAjx4eiSGx6aWVQm9KTQQUiQOsBzrAQor8npexJsSdHx2DHm8LlO9ZJnxuNVgBdpCVdKDCKs6frvJkbbirws/s400/IMG_0123.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5470422062395052098" /><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Final year students from De Montfort University, Music, Technology and Innovation Department, worked with Red Earth Theatre to research a variety of prototypes that would give D/deaf people visual and sensual access to music.</div><div><div><br /></div><div>The students made a fingertip prototype sound box.
