During my sabbatical in 2020, when I researched the healing of trauma through Theatre, two books were particularly relevant to teaching: “The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma” by Bessel Van der Kolk, and “Keeping Together in Time” by William Hardy McNeill. In 2020-2021, I implemented some of their ideas with success in my classes, and I’d like to share those ideas for helping to create a sense of community in the classroom, and helping to diminish the sense of isolation that some students may be feeling.
