What moves you? Physical activity strategies in older women
Physical activity improves quality of life and extends independence in older adults. Yet, how to motivate older adults to engage in physical activity is unclear. In the present study, 4108 older women, aged 70-99, reported how they motivated themselves to move when they did not feel like it, and their hours of physical activity and walking each week. Findings indicated that participants who endorsed more strategies had more hours of physical acti…
Applied theatre and practice as research: Polyphonic conversations
Applied theatre practice as research might be perceived as a curious conflation. Not greatly foregrounded in the literature on applied theatre or performance practice as research, this article engages with the particularities of such a pairing. Beginning with identifying why a consideration is timely, ‘the practice as research’ and ‘social’ turns are invoked and analysed as relevant contexts to consider applied theatre practice as research. Two p…
Move Over, There's Room Enough: Performance Making Diploma: training for learning disabled adults
In its second year, the Performance Making Diploma at Royal Central School of Speech and Drama (Central), won the Guardian University Award for Student Diversity and Widening Participation 2015. A one-year, part-time diploma, the first cohort has graduated and many have undertaken their first venture in professional work. This Points and Practice piece is an edited version of an email interview between Sally Mackey and Liselle Terret. Together wi…

Of lofts, evidence and mobile times: The school play as a site of memory
How do we remember past arts events? What forms of tangible evidence exist to demonstrate such memories and what meanings can be taken from the archiving of artefacts in contemporary times? The research discussed in this article showed that a school production taking place 20 years ago is remembered as a significant event in the lives of its participants with physical objects associated with the production stored and preserved by most of the orig…

Environmentalism, performance and applications: Uncertainties and Emancipations
This introductory article for a themed edition on environmentalism provides a particular context for those articles that follow, each of which engages with different aspects of environmentalism and performance in community-related settings. Responding to the proposition of Bottoms that there is a lacuna in the field of applied drama and environmentalism, we suggest that the more significant lack is that of ecocriticism. As the articles in this jo…

Drama, Landscape and Memory: To be is to be in place Théâtre, Paysage et mémoire: être c'est être à sa place El Arte Drama ́tico, el Paisaje, y la Memoria: Ser es situarse
This paper is based on research that sought to identify the cognitive and emotive effect of a collaborative drama event that took place in a unique landscape. Particular leitmotifs emerged from the research concerning identity and groups, the resonance of landscape, collective and childhood memory and the particularity of site-specific theatre. In this paper the author deconstructs two of these: landscape and memory. The concluding theories sugge…
Self‐interpreting Animals: Action research and the reflective drama journal
This article arises out of the authors' research into the reflective journals of practical work used in three different undergraduate drama degree courses at The Central School of Speech and Drama, London, UK. For many years the reflective/evaluative journal has been a popular component of drama courses from school to postgraduate level. The researchers wished to identify the validity of these documents. (At Central School the term ‘journal’ refe…

Emotion and Cognition in Arts Education
Claims are made by educators in the arts that we have some a priori function in training emotions or feelings. What do these claims amount to? If we are saying that simply to experience those emotions is good enough, then surely we are not giving our students a full and developed emotional education. If, however, it is possible to ascertain that emotions can enhance or even stimulate cognition then we have a solid, justifiable foundation upon whi…
