Abstract
I In this paper, I explore autoethnodrama through the writing of a performative play text. I move between the tandem voices of my current self (30-year-old graduate student and drama teacher) and my past self (14-year-old Year 9 student) as I grapple with new theoretical ideas and academic forms of writing, as well as my place within the educational and scholarly worlds. Along with intertextual references to Waiting for Godot, my voices move between the conversational, the scholarly, the absurd and the poetic, as I try to capture a dream-like quality, perhaps reminiscent of my subconscious at a point in time. I negotiate fragments of identity and try to reconcile new theoretical concepts with practice as I attempt bring my past into the present and uncover purpose, with apologies to Beckett.
