On Access in Applied Theatre and Drama Education
Editat de Colette Conroy, Adelina Ong, Dirk J. Rodricksen Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 iun 2021
This book explores and interrogates access and diversity in applied theatre and drama education.
Access is persistently framed as a strategy to share power and to extend equality, but in the context of current and recent power struggles, it is also seen as a discourse that reinforces marginalisation and exclusion. The political bind of access is also a conceptual problem. It is impossible to refuse to engage in strategies to extend access to institutions, representations, buildings, education, discourse, etc. We cannot oppose access or strategies for access without reinforcing marginalisation and exclusion. We can't not want access for ourselves or for others. However, we are then in danger of remaining immersed in a distribution of power that reinforces and naturalises inequality as difference. For applied theatre and drama education, the act of creating, teaching, and learning is intrinsically connected to choice, along with the agency and capacity to choose. What is less clear, and what still interests us, is how the distribution of power and representation creates the schema for an analysis of access and diversity.

Notă biografică
Adelina Ong completed her PhD at the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama, UK. Her thesis proposed a theory for compassionately negotiated living inspired by parkour, art du déplacement, breakin’ (breakdancing), and graffiti. Her research focuses on young people from low-income families who struggle with mental wellbeing.
Dirk J. Rodricks is a PhD Candidate at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education (OISE) at the University of Toronto, Canada. Committed to learning across difference through critical, creative, anti-racist, and de/colonial pedagogies, his research interests include multiply-marginalized young adult identity formations in transnational contexts, inter-generational ethno-racial and queer inheritances, and de/colonizing qualitative methodologies.
