The Immersive Theatre of Learning: Learning Experiences are Rehearsals for Life

In the Theatre of Learning the real actors are the learners. Learning professionals become stage directors, playwrights or set designers. And the Immersive Learning Experiences they stage and design are rehearsals for life, leading learners to the transformations they desire. B. Joseph Pine, co-auther of The Experience Economy, says about this book: Everyone having anything to do with learning – instructors, facilitators, leaders, even learners themselves – should read Bernd Gibson’s insightful book, The Immersive Theatre of Learning. With frameworks, principles, and examples he shows how in today’s Experience Economy instructors must become performers; facilitators must become stage directors; leaders must become the producers of transformative Learning Experiences; and learners themselves must demand that educational programs of all stripes offer time well spent in learning, and time well invested in using that learning to transform. The Immersive Theatre of Learning is a book for anyone who is interested in transformations and how we can get people to achieve these changes: learning professionals, actors in the Experience Economy, leaders, HR or People professionals, and of course, Learning Experience Designers and Facilitators who are looking for a textbook.
