Ecodrama And Sustainable Theatre: A Handbook For Creating Remarkable Change, Gigi Buddie
Ecodrama And Sustainable Theatre: A Handbook For Creating Remarkable Change, Gigi Buddie
Pomona Senior Theses

These chapters are structured and supported by both experience and research – formulated from …

The second part consists of a course syllabus, designed for Pomona College. The third section includes a discussion of the implementation …
