Hopes for Great Happenings (Routledge Revivals)

<p>When Albert Hunt joined the staff of the Regional College of Art Bradford in 1965 he found himself working mostly with ‘non-academic’ students on a fascinating range of games projects and theatre events outside the main stream of exam-oriented education. In this title first published in 1976 Albert Hunt describes this experience and explains how he himself evolved from a conventional grammar school teacher to a radical and experimental educator. In particular Hunt describes the evolution of new working relationships between teachers and students which in turn highlight an alternative way of viewing society. <i>Hopes for Great Happenings</i> is not only a vividly interesting account of Albert Hunt’s teaching methods but is of practical value to anybody involved in the study of liberal arts theatre studies or in community arts work. </p>
