The Guild of Drama Adjudicators (''GoDA'') is the world's longest established body dedicated to the adjudication of all forms of theatre, both professional and amateur. Full Members of the Guild are entitled to use the post-nominal letters, GoDA Associate Members are entitled to use the post-nominal of GoDA(Associate) ==History== GoDA was founded in 1947 as a response to the growing dissatisfaction about standards of adjudication in the boom festival years after World War II with an editorial in the magazine Amateur Stage providing the impetus for its establishment.〔George Taylor, ''History of the amateur theatre'', page 179 (White Horse Library), (Venton) 1976〕 Ostensibly, it was founded for the benefit of Amateur Drama and from its beginnings its members were available to assist Amateur Dramatic Societies across the United Kingdom with constructive criticism both at Drama Festivals or at performances specific to individual groups.〔British Theatre Association, British Drama League, ''Drama, Issues 139-146'', page 49 (British Theatre Association), 1981〕 To achieve its founding aims GoDA established recognised principles of practice for its members to apply and adhere to. The Guild also formulated definitive objectives to this end, namely: * To supply qualified adjudicators to all organisations promoting amateur drama. * To enable its members to work unfettered towards the objectives of the Guild. * To provide opportunities for the discussion of the problems of adjudication and tuition either by schools, conferences, or by other means.〔(www.amdram.co.uk) - ''Introducing GODA'' )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Guild of Drama Adjudicators」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
