In this paper we offer an overview of the arts in education in Ireland, making a case for a performative approach. We discuss theory, research and practice – situating the developments in Ireland within a multicultural context. We begin by offering our own definition of Arts (in) Education research, drawing on seminal policies and interrogating var...
It is a hot summer day in 1979. As a student teacher (English/German studies) at the Carl von Ossietzky University of Oldenburg at the time, I am taking part in a seminar on the subject of alternative schools. The lecturer suggests leaving the stuffy room and holding the lecture under a tree by the Haare, a nearby river.
Contributors to this new rubric draw attention to terms that are frequently used when we speak or write about our pedagogical practices. The idea is to engage Scenario readers in a discussion of key terminology in the area of performative teaching and learning. Through Scenario Journal and various Scenario Forum initiatives, including conferences,...

What exactly does it mean to go performative in education? The third SCENARIO Conference will revolve around new and existing connections and collaborations between educational sectors and the performative arts. We welcome contributions from scholars, teacher trainers, teachers as well as artists and pr...
Through its diverse range of activities Scenario aims to promote the arts in education, including the facilitation of intellectual exchange between (language) educators and artists from different backgrounds. In the following interview Adrien Segal, a data artist based in California, reflects on the interrelationship between science and art and, in...

Representatives from five different countries (Austria, Germany, Great Britain, Ireland, Switzerland) have contributed to the project, engaging in an int...
Let’s start with the image on the book cover which is placed between the author’s name and the book title. It immediately grabs our attention, shows how eight adult individuals bodily connect and create a beautiful shape that looks like a flower, or rather a flower in full bloom. Is the shape that has been created by these individuals (movement art...
Zwischen dem Bereich Drama/Theater und dem Bereich Fremdsprachen-vermittlung gibt es seit jeher Verbindungslinien. Zumindest war der Leh-rer immer schon ein Akteur, der den Schülern etwas so ‘vorzuspielen’ versuchte, dass die Aufmerksamkeit des Lernerpublikums gebannt blieb; und eigentlich haben Lehrer und Schüler im fremdsprachlichen Unterricht im...
This contribution focuses on performative teaching practice. After a brief introduction in which reference is made to an increasing performative orientation in education and the innovative concept of Performative Foreign Language Didactics, the idea of the teacher as 'Formmeister' (Form Master) is presented. The authors then focus on the still imag...
The twenty-first century is the century of the performative.1 Claire Colebrook (2018) Eine performative Lehr-, Lern- und Forschungskultur kann überall dort entstehen, wo die Fachwissenschaft bzw. Fachdidaktik in einen konstruktiven Dialog mit den performativen Künsten eintritt. Die Herausforderungen des 21. Jahrhunderts (vgl. die Sustainable Develo...
The twenty-first century is the century of the performative.1 Claire Colebrook (2018) A performative teaching, learning, and research culture can emerge wherever an academic discipline enters into a constructive dialogue with the performing arts. Many challenges of the 21st century (see the Sustainable Development Goals of the UN)2 require creative...
Über die in den Leitfragen enthaltene inhaltliche Ebene hinaus war mir die Form des Vortrags wichtig. Zu den ‚performativen Elementen‘, die den Vortrag durchzogen, gehörte eine Geschichte, auf die ich beim Lesen von Peter Brooks (1988) The Shifting Point. Forty years of theatrical exploration 1946-1987 aufmerksam geworden war und die so beginnt: Go...

Scenario wishes to acknowledge the vital contribution of Josephine Rutz by expressly thanking her for the transcription of the discussion. MS: Welcome everyone to this afternoon’s group discussion as part of the 4th SCENARIO FORUM Symposium. As you have read in the Symposiu...
If somebody living in Dublin and preparing a solo-performance for an academic audience in Cork retreats to a location in Berlin to rehearse for his upcoming show – isn’t that somewhat peculiar? One evening in the winter of 1801 I met an old friend in a public park.2 That is the beginning of the text my friend Peter was reciting as he strolled throu...
Es ist eine ebenso facetten- wie beziehungsreiche Trias aus Sprache, Lernen und Gehirn, die den inhaltlichen Rahmen der vorliegenden Monografie Fremdsprachenunterricht und Neurowissenschaften bildet: Mit Bezug auf eine lehrorientierte Zielleserschaft stellt sich Michaela Sambanis der Herausforderung, Prozesse und Kontexte des fremdsprachlichen Lern...
This overview article initially focuses on early connections between dramatic art, teaching, learning, and living, followed by a brief account of how Great Britain took on a pioneering role with regard to the establishment of drama as a school subject, method and educational sub-discipline. It then focuses on how drama pedagogy in foreign language...
Now, this harmonious cultivation of my nature, which has been denied me by birth, is exactly what I most long for. Since leaving thee, I have gained much by voluntary practice: I have laid aside much of my wonted embarrassment, and can bear myself in very tolerable style. My speech and voice I have likewise been attending to; and I may say, without...

Wortspiel-Berlin bietet Fortbildungsseminare für Sprachlehrerende an, Theaterkurse für verschiedene Zielgruppen und auch Individualunterricht. Detailliertere Informati...
In den wissenschaftsfixierten Fremdsprachendidaktiken haben die Künste lange ein Schattendasein geführt. Derzeit allerdings mehren sich die Zeichen dafür, dass die Künste mehr ins Licht treten und den Boden bereiten helfen für eine neue, performative Fremdsprachendidaktik.1 Auf diesem Hintergrund soll Lutzkers umfangreicher Studie (478 S.) neue Bea...
In der fremdsprachendidaktischen Fachdiskussion wird die Dramapädagogik zunehmend häufiger zum Bezugspunkt. Inzwischen ist ihr enormes Potenzial für die Sprach-, Literatur- und Kulturvermittlung in Forschungsarbeiten und Praxisberichten vielfach beleuchtet worden (vgl. dazu die umfangreiche Bibliographie auf der SCENARIO-Homepage). Inwiefern durch...
Als Bärbel Jogschies im November 2006 an der Universität Cork über ihre Arbeit als Theaterpädagogin am Maxim Gorki Theater Berlin berichtete, entstand im Gespräch mit SCENARIO-Mitherausgeber Manfred Schewe die Idee eines Interviews mit Armin Petras (alias Dramatiker Fritz Kater), dem neuen Intendanten des Maxim Gorki Theaters. Nun ist dieser Mann e...
Literaturvermittlung in der Auslandsgermanistik ist traditionell die Domäne der Literaturwissenschaft, die allerdings eine Antwort darauf schuldig bleibt, was jemanden zu einem guten Literaturvermittler macht und worin die besondere Qualität von Lernprozessen besteht, die Studierende im Laufe der Semester anhand von deutschsprachiger Literatur mach...
