Amanda Dawson

From a small town in Scotland to the hearts of hundreds of teenagers, this magnificent human has championed the arts & theatre in education for 31 years. Listen in to this deep dive into her own story of taking control of how others see and connect with her on her terms despite the bullying she endured around weight & appearance. Be inspired by how she used comedy & storytelling to bridge the social connections needed to survive and how these skills have helped her be the most exceptional drama teacher. Learn how theatre in schools holds the emotional aspect of your child's development and why being able to communicate in real time about real things face to face is more crucial now than ever in this social media led world. This is a conversation full of humility as I try and tease out her own recognition of her brilliance. She is a true rock of raw realness who would never say that about herself. What a pleasure to honour my long time ex-colleague and good friend, Amanda Dawson. A legend in her own living room.

 

Amanda does not have a website or social media. She is a gem to be found if your child is lucky enough to have her as a teacher. #unsungheroes
