- Description
- We, the authors, present a research dance in this chapter: a tango. It is a metaphorical tango about our research work on gender in drama education. The dance we use here is virtual rather than embodied. It is co-constructed in language rather than enacted live, with bodies in a shared space. Unlike the tango, which is a dance of intimacy, this research tango is intimate in that both researchers share friendship and research interests in gender and previous collaborations about gender and drama, yet our written dance happens at a distance to each other. Given that we are separated by nearly 1000kms of Australian soil (Richard north of Melbourne and Chris north of Sydney), we conjure for this chapter a research dance where we move together, sharing our ideas and research spaces for the purposes of critical dialogue and insight about gender in drama research. At the centre of this chapter is a provocation about how gender impacts drama/theatre research. We worked with the key question: What affordances and challenges does a gendered lens in drama research provide for both researchers and their audience? As researchers who conduct investigations into the workings of gender in the drama classroom, we constructed this question because it provided a rich basis for our discussion and writing collaboration.
