School of Arts Education and Movement
Dublin City University, Institute of Education
The classroom as happening promotes animated learning. A situation is created whereby students re-define their educational surroundings. Their classroom becomes flexible. Art in this sense is related to environment and a studio of ideas. Happenings were first introduced by the artist Allan Kaprow. They are experiences where art, physical action, sound, words and environment are assembled within a specific time frame to promote participation and improvisation.
