Description: Playbuilding has been a constant focus, particularly in NSW, in terms of formal drama curriculum in schools. Learning about drama by doing drama is at the core of drama syllabus documents within Australia and in numerous other countries. Drama pedagogy centres around the artistic practice of the art form, enabling students to ‘learn about’ the art form as they ‘learn to’ negotiate drama as artists. In drama, experiential learning is key as students collaborate and embody their learning through role-play, performance and critique. The ‘live’ experience of making, performing and appreciating the drama work is critical to building students’ foundational understandings of the subject. This chapter will describe and theorise the practice of playbuilding in the drama classroom and will position playbuilding pedagogy centrally within the current discourses of 21st-century learning.
