As we did last week, today the host becomes the guest as Creativists in Dialogue sits with Elizabeth Bruce who—at CentroNia—created The Theatrical Journey Project: introducing science to early learners through guided pretend play.
Elizabeth describes The Journey Project as an immersive, hands-on, constructivist methodology that deeply engages early learners through tactile simulations of real science phenomena. The history of this project is not only a wonderful example of innovation from the grassroots but also instructive of how innovations come into being in the first place, frequently not in the hallowed halls of elite institutions, but when regular people do extraordinary things.
And that's exactly why I decided, as a co-host, to interview Elizabeth, for not only is she the co-host of this podcast and a fiction writer—check out her new short story collection on her website below—but also the creator of The Theatrical Journey Project.
