Poetry in Action: Understanding Experiences, Perceptions, and Impacts of PIA in Secondary Schools: Research Report. Part 1, Artists

Poetry in Action is a theatre in education (TIE) company that has worked with schools around Australia for more than fifteen years, and apart from repeat bookings and anecdotal responses, little is known about the impact of PIA on teaching and learning in the schools that it has reached. In the arts industry, PIA provides employment to a range of artists, ranging from new graduates from theatre courses to industry experts. The research investigates experiences, perceptions, and impacts of PIA in Australian schools and in the arts industry. Report 1: Artists focuses on the interviews held with artists, particularly the themes of artists' practices, artists' professional capacity-building and artists' career development.
