This volume of the Brainball series gives the theater classroom teacher an intentional, sequenced process for creating inclusive theatre pedagogy that maximizes students’ learning. In addition, the Brainball technique offers concrete forms of meaningful assessment applicable to the theater classroom, and connects easily to our newly published national standards in theatre arts education.

Brainball is a purposeful and process-driven set of teaching strategies that gets students to “express their human experience through representative actions.” The book focuses on creating experiences that allow students to grapple with what is going on in their lives – and then work through the joys and pains through role-play activities. This book is also an excellent resource to help guide teachers in intentionally planning to get students to develop positive dispositions, collaborative teams and supportive communities where everyone contributes and everyone has an important role.
Industry Reviews
Teaching theatre is hard work; learning theatre is even harder. Brainball: Theatre Edition provides theatre educators with a brilliant opportunity to expand their capacity to help students learn. The theatre classroom can be a challenging space for students; it asks them to question their assumptions, explore who they and others are, and portray concepts and experiences they may not be familiar or comfortable with. Hand-in-hand with those challenges, performing (or, as Kolis would say, “the expression of the human experience through representative actions”) presents a world of opportunity for teachers and students to learn; that learning is often difficult for the students and even more so when the theatre educator struggles to know how to help them.

As concrete and solution-focused as Brainball: Theatre Edition is, the book remains wickedly smart and insightful, exploring not just what or how to teach students but why that learning is valuable not just for the students but also for the educator. This is a learning opportunity for the whole class; a wise educator would pick up this book and invite students along on the journey.
