Description

This book harnesses the theory and practice of dramatic arts for the applied use in communication education. It introduces readers to educational role-play and how to use it, arguing that complete immersion is crucial to successful learning. Educational role-play sprang into life in many places including the medical world in the 1960s. Now, fifty years later, the field has grown exponentially across the world. Heinrich discusses how through role play interactions become more authentic, discussion becomes more focused and people take risks, and grow. Early chapters in Part I focus on theory, show how and why role-play works, and introduce the key performative factors of aesthetic distance, defamiliarization, framing, and focus that produce its dynamism. Chapters in Part II discuss how these ideas inform every aspect of role-play practice, offer practical guidance on designing and running scenarios, how to be more confident and mindful as player or facilitator, and provide a wide array of techniques to handle challenging situations. Most of the examples are drawn from medical communication, but the insights and techniques are equally applicable to other fields such as business, law, policing, and the military. The book will be of interest to educators, workplace trainers and managers, facilitators, role-play actors, and scholars interested in role-play performance. Review “A must read for any professional working with role play and game simulations. This is a treasure of a book jammed with tacit knowledge, written in a very accessible way using many examples and inspiring ideas. Scientists researching social learning and experimental learning can use this book as an insightful stepping stone to describe behaviours of both facilitator and players during role plays and playful learning situations. This book is inspiring and helpful in gaining insight in how to leverage learning in role play and other interactive situations.” (Dr Marieke de Wijse-Van Heeswijk, researcher at Radboud University Nijmegen, simulation game designer and business consultant, former board member ISAGA and Saganet) About the Author Paul Heinrich holds a PhD in Theatre and Drama from Northwestern University, USA and is the Founding Creative Director (retired) of Pam McLean Centre, University of Sydney, Australia.
