About the session

The DP theatre course epitomizes the philosophy of learning through play (no pun intended!). Students explore the creative processes of transforming ideas into action and develop skills to become as confident, productive artists. But how can this creative process be evaluated using structured criteria? Join Antony in a power-packed workshop about breaking down DP theatre assessment tasks. Brainstorm on how to support students in their growth as theatre designers, producers, and consumers.

Antony John Nesling
Antony has been teaching IB DP Theatre for over ten years, mostly in Amman and Bangkok. He currently lives in Copenhagen, where he also works as an IB DP Coordinator at the International School of Hellerup. Antony was chosen to be a member of the curriculum review committee for the latest iteration of the IB DP Theatre course, first teaching in 2022. Accordingly, he has a thorough understanding of the existing and upcoming IB DP Theatre curriculum. Antony's pedagogy manifests a passionate belief in experimental theatre within a rigorous academic framework. Students are exposed to myriad practitioners, theorists, and thinkers – from within and without the theatrical arena – and are challenged to develop their work through integrating others' ideas. As a TOK teacher, CAS, and EE supervisor, Antony is also able to help students facilitate meaningful cross-curricular connections from IB DP Theatre to within the DP Core.Outside of the DP Theatre classroom, Antony is a lifelong learner. He is currently completing a Ph.D. in Education at University College London, where he is researching a new form of drama education involving a confluence of traditional theatre and live-action videogames, which he calls 'GamePlay'.
