A Creative Dramatics Project at the Georgia Academy for the Blind

Abstract

Open City theatre—funded by a grant from the Georgia Council for the Arts and Humanities—offered a series of in-depth workshops in creative dramatics to students and teachers at the Georgia Academy for the Blind in Macon in August and September 1979. Through the process of using and adapting Open City's exercises, activities, and skills for a blind population, growth and development occurred among the members of both Open City and the academy's staff. This article describes Open City's work during these two months.
