Abstract

ABSTRACT: This article engages with the sudden pivot to online learning and research in a Toronto high school drama classroom during the COVID pandemic, revealing a complex portrait of youth, connection, and the digital world at a time of physical distancing. In light of these shifting 'personal geographies', we reflect on what drama practices might be mobilised to invite intimacy into online learning.
