Abstract
Drama education is traditionally closely connected to wider societal discourses about human development and ‘character formation’1. In this article I will address some of the central themes in contemporary research in the field of drama and theatre education2. One of these themes is the benefit of drama education and drama literacy for ‘character formation’. In a postmodern era this concept includes the notion of otherness. One experiences otherness in thoughts, cultures and in oneself through the changes of perspective that occur when building fictional worlds. This can be seen as part of a poetics of drama education. In this article I will discuss, from a research perspective, the foundations of a poetics for the field of drama education.
