• What does it mean to be a creative person in a digital age?
• How can you support and develop young people's creativity?
• What role do schools, other networks and communities play in supporting young people's creativity?
• What does drama look like in a digital age?
• What are the features of effective drama creative processes in a digital age?

These are some of the kinds of questions I've been exploring through my research and projects related to this site.  As my work has progressed I've posted some of my writings and materials created as a way of putting some ideas out there for consideration.

If you'd like to share you thoughts at any time, please use the contact page of this site to email me. I'd love to hear from people working in this field, or if you are a student who wants to share their ideas.

Cheers

Sue.

Scripts

The Cleo Missing story was something that continued to interest me after the completion of the 2005 project.  After somebody suggested to me it was a story that would be great to make into a play for Senior Drama students I rewrote the story for that context.  The attached script is aimed at a year 10-12 audience.  If you are interested in using it or performing it, please email me through the contacts page of this site.
