Abstract: This paper explores the concept of creativity in education. Through a study of recent literature on creativity and creativity in education, we will identify various definitions of creativity, and then examine how the concept is discussed and concretized with reference to education. Later, we will consider how the literature describes the distinction between creative teaching and teaching creativity, and present some of the tensions and dilemmas that have been raised in relation to creativity in education. This paper represents the first step in what is planned to be a three-year journey into explorations about creativity and teaching creatively in drama/theatre classrooms internationally.
