Abstract
This chapter reports on the findings of the focus groups, outlining seven values, providing illustrative anecdotes from the discussions and analysing the value statements against the ethic of applied drama as understood by scholars who work in community and education contexts. The intention is to begin formulating an ethical code for applied performance work in organisations to bring critical hope and social transformation into spaces where economic inequality still prevails and the dehumanisation of people can be rife. Yet, perhaps these remarks are informed by an understandable prejudice in the minds of applied arts practitioners in relation to capitalist institutions. In an analysis of the opportunities available to drama therapists who are seeking to work in business contexts, Hayley Roberts points to the resistance on the part of the arts practitioner. This chapter analyses the elements of the ethical gap and articulates the values of the applied arts in such a way that they can make sense in business contexts.
