Abstract
In this article, I describe and discuss a drama project that I did with a group of grade-nine girls, all from very impoverished backgrounds in India. I discuss it in the context of the goals of teaching and learning as I have used them in my work. I also map the metaphysical and epistemological terrain that I travel, using Bond’s ideas of imagination and the self and the concept of home, connecting them to the ideas of self and reality as used in Vedanta in Indian philosophy and weaving both into my own idea of self. I describe, in this paper, how the students and I used drama to enable them to construct a more empowering idea of themselves in the universe — more at home in an otherwise hostile world.
