Hyperdrama presents a revolutionary approach to theatre tailored for ADHD populations, emphasizing active engagement through choice and mobility. Unlike traditional drama, which confines audiences to a static experience, Hyperdrama invites participants to navigate multiple spaces and select scenes, creating a unique 'Choose Your Own Adventure' narrative. This format fosters collaboration among students, integrating various subjects like Social Studies, Art, and Technology. By employing HTML coding, students can craft their own Hyperdrama experiences, cultivating creativity and holistic computer literacy in educational settings.

Theatre is… • Played in a designated “aesthetic” space • Audience “immobile” and separate from actor • Houses the “Well-Made Play”
Main character(s) Minor character(s) Linear action Main plot Subplot Playwright’s “Single Vision” (Deemer) Drama (Well-Made Play)
Hyperdrama as Theatre: • Played in multiple spaces simultaneously (Environmental) • Audience is mobile • Audience chooses the scenes they want to see. (Think: “Choose Your Own Adventure”)
Hypertext • Each character has a fully developed story line. • “Main Character” is subjective. • No plot is primary to another. • “Multiple Visions” based on choices/consequences
Potential for Integration • Students can create Hyperdrama in collaboration with learning HTML code. (Technology Collaboration) • Possible creation of online role games using the live Hyperdrama as a model. • Can integrate also with Social Studies, English, Art and Science teachers • Teacher Collaboration=Increased Creativity
