Teaching Spectatorship

Focusing on the concept of audience in performance, Monica Prendergast's work presents a curriculum theory through a collection of essays and poems. Addressing the challenges of educating in a "society of the spectacle," the book emphasizes the importance of helping students develop into active and critical spectators. It explores the neglected topic of performance in education, aiming to enhance students' engagement and understanding of their roles as audience members in contemporary culture.
