Abstract In a postmodern world, hope is a disease which afflicts individuals who dare to search for a pluralistic future that does not rest entirely on pragmatism and moral relativism, a future that might have something to say about a proliferation of freedom, justice and equality. This article addresses the question of what theatre and drama might best do in the present, if not to induce an immediate epidemic, then at least to produce a growing number of carriers of hope. It argues that radicalism is likely to provide the most contagious type of ideological bug, and so searches for the communal and individual sources of radicalism in theatre and drama practices. It suggests that these may be identified most clearly in places where the disease is most threatened by eradication, for example, in prisons, among schoolchildren, wherever dictators flourish. It lays claim to being part of a wider pathology through its underlying commitment to democracy as a political process which, though often discredited, pot...

Abstract Teacher preparation seeks to develop reflective practitioners who examine and re‐examine teaching and learning, knowledge, beliefs and values. Articulation of teacher voice‐‐use of language to explain, describe, question, explore or challenge‐‐is vital. Teacher voice implies that a teacher can speak her or his own truth and be heard. Inherent barriers in teacher education, especially in drama education, impede reflection and teacher voice. These include: (a) isolation‐‐particularly problematic in drama education‐‐students feel marginalised in both theatre and education departments; and (b) student culture favouring practice over theory, a perception created when education departments ignore arts students and drama methods texts ignore education theory. Three drama educators, two Canadian and one American, use drama student teacher written cases to develop reflection and community in pre‐service secondary drama teachers. The cases are introduced during the methods class. While each case can be exp...

Abstract South African society has undergone immense change in recent years and arguably one of the most fundamental challenges has been transforming the education system from one that was strongly authoritarian, subject‐centred and based on political indoctrination, to one which embraces notions of child‐centredness, diversity, multicul‐turalism and multilingualism. The key idea of this article is ‘intervention’, exploring the ways in which theatre ‘intervenes’ in the South African education system. Three areas of intervention are highlighted: firstly, through introducing drama as a formal subject of school study; secondly, as a methodology for teachers across the curriculum, and thirdly, as an intervention from the outside, through, for example, visiting theatre companies, and in this case, the DramAidE company which focuses on HIV/AIDS and lifeskills education. Whilst these areas of dramatic engagement are not new, it is unlikely that drama will automatically become part of the transformed system witho...

Abstract Drama has traditionally sought ways to unite differences in a common expression, but this purpose is challenged by multiculturalism and the need to respect rather than erase different subjectivities in order to ensure equity” in education. This article suggests that an artistic holding form which has as its essence ambiguity could serve to recruit difference and allow for the establishment of a more just ‘cohesive sociality’. The tolerance of ambiguity is one feature of creativity, and this paper explores ways that cognitive and affective meaning can be enhanced by sustaining, rather than attempting to eliminate multiple ways of seeing.

Abstract This article discusses a form of qualitative theatre research known as critical ‘ethno‐drama’. It is based upon a growing body of published work which has previously explained the mechanisms applied during the construction of student performed research narratives. As some readers might already be familiar with the nature of this work, which has been rehearsed in a number of books and journals, descriptions of the construction process are brief. The article seeks to illuminate, with numerous extracts from both published scripts and research data, how this form of theatre attempts to influence a variety of understandings and audiences and how the notion of emancipatory action needs to be refined in relation to theatre involving health issues. Essentially, the article seeks to embrace an understanding of a form of academic research and theatrical presentation which is open to public contestation. Through the examples given it is hoped that the reader gains a ‘feel’ for research performance narrative...

Some of the Viewpoints in this issue raise themes which are recurrent. Firstly, readers who are engaged with research are finding it useful to ask for contact with those who have similar interests. Secondly, with the continuing international development of drama education evidenced at conferences, and the interest in researching across countries, we are asking drama educators to provide brief, snapshot glimpses of the effect of current politics on arts education practice in their countries. Please send contributions to these themes and all other Viewpoints to Sally Mackey, The Central School of Speech and Drama, Eton Avenue, Swiss Cottage, London NW3 3HY, UK.
