This article is based on a 2007 conference presentation that used Research-Based Theater (RbT) to identify and articulate the ethical questions facing playmakers and audiences, not to provide answers, but to challenge the participants to address them.

This address was given as the final-day keynote of the Sixth International Drama in Education Research Institute (IDIERI) in Sydney, 2009.

He then conducts an informal meta-analysis of the abstracts of all the papers submitted and accepted for the Institute. These ar…

Ex‐citing Writing
This article is a plea for a more varied, direct, confident, artistically structured and aesthetically pleasing approach to writing about drama research, formal and informal. It is my (no, not ‘the author's’), perception that a great deal of writing in this field is constrained inappropriately and sometimes ruthlessly by scholastic conventions which are not appropriate for writings beyond the genre ‘university thesis’. I briefly canvass the reaso…
