Abstract

Within a larger discussion of the field known as Curriculum Studies, this paper situates Dramatic Arts, as both subject and process. Definitions and descriptions of “curriculum” are taken up in an account of the process-driven context of drama education. The paper suggests the necessary interaction that takes place between teacher and learners and among learners themselves in inquiry-based curricula.
