Abstract
Abstract This article reviews a six-month, collaborative, research project, sponsored by the Centre for the Arts in Human Development at Concordia University. The study investigated how ethnodramatherapy (EDT), a new method that integrates ethnodrama with drama therapy, could help adults with developmental disabilities (DD) to explore their lived experience of human relationships, including intimacy, romance and sexuality. EDT was used to create performance-based research on relationships, while also providing a supportive and therapeutic experience to group members. Results demonstrated the empowering effects of the participants expressing their authentic voice. Responses of the audience to a post-performance questionnaire were also analysed.
