Drawing upon more than two decades of her experiences as a professional author, theatre practitioner and expert educator, she introduces a theoretical discourse and a practical framework for a new theatrical style for the stage. In her groundbreaking article: \u003cem\u003eTheatre Playscapes: A New Theatrical Style\u003c\/em\u003e, Susan examines the impacts of the twenty first century's unprecedented emphasis on individualism, within the constraints of globalisation. She argues that in our brave new world, the role of the theatre is vital in its abilities to empower our young people to choose to nurture their beings, develop autonomy and to connect with their lifeworlds.\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this play, \u003cem\u003e Fleur of Yesterday\u003c\/em\u003e, we see Susan's work with the Theatre Playscapes style in practice.
