"Colourful, clear - great for visual learners"
Tracy Spring, St Swithuns School
Because ideas don’t move in straight lines…
These full colour Mind Maps are a brilliant encapsulation
of the lives and works of leading theatre practitioners and
principles. Drawn by our Artistic Director and senior
workshop leader Kerry Frampton, the maps were such a
popular part of our education packs we’ve decided to make
them available in their own right.

"
...I urge all teachers - not just drama teachers - to rush out and buy a set of these... they are brilliant, colourful, well-researched and well-presented examples of what a mind map should be... Not only do they provide the perfect overview of practitioners such as Stanislavski and Brecht but they are excellent models for how to produce good mind maps of your own."
Ali Warren, Head of Drama at Clarendon College in 'Teaching Drama Magazine'
"A wonderful summary of theory and practice, easily accessible, witty and in glorious Technicolor!
The mind maps were the last thing my students put down before taking the exam.
I can't think of a clearer way of showing the links and relationships between the elements.
My students rated the mind maps their most useful revision aid."
Phil Gascoyne, Brookfield Community School, Chesterfield
