f Handle with care: Contains poet snow! Remediation as drama pedagogical method

In the laboratory at the Nordic Drama Boreale, we experimented with remediation using Mette Hegnhøj’s book Ella is My Name: Do You Want to Buy It? This article unpacks remediation as a method for inspiration in drama pedagogical practice. We found that different aesthetic forms of expression contribute to a synergy, providing an experience of ‘entering the book’. We also discovered that remediation can promote the poetic in teaching and that the process of remediating from book to drama occurs at a crossover between performance and drama education, where the participants are both spectators and performers. The forms of experience and investigation of remediation in the laboratory can thus contribute to drama pedagogical methodology through the incorporation of new and experimental books, theatrical forms and interactive media.
