Abstract

This paper, in two parts, conceptualises an holistic individual-centred drama methodology informed and inspired by the writings of dramatist Luigi Pirandello, theatre practitioner and theoretician Nikolai Evreinov, arts educators Peter Slade and Malcolm Ross, philosophers Jean-Paul Sartre and Martin Buber, psychiatrists C.G. Jung and D.W. Winnicott and voice pioneers Alfred Wolfsohn and Roy Hart. It presents the theoretical framework of a research practice that emphasises ‘each in his own way’ and explores the notion of choice in the continual state of becoming of each individual and the reflexive relationship between life and artistic processes. The thesis is that the practice produces knowledge and an insight that enables individuals to see themselves as both fixed and not fixed. It gives them the opportunity of liminal experiences while exploring their ‘other selves’ in the potential space and choosing self-transformation through creative imagination and creative imaginative action.
