I have written elsewhere (O’Farrell 1994) about how the processes of educational drama can be shown to resemble those of ritual (both sacred and secular) in leading participants out of their everyday world into a luminal space in which the elements of reality can be safely deconstructed and reassembled to provide a fresh insight, one that may effect a significant change in the world view of the player. This process parallels the experience of creative individuals. Bartlett (1958), portrays creative thinking as “getting away from the main track, breaking out of the mold, being open to experience, and permitting one thing to lead to another” (p. 103). The workshop made use of role-playing and mantle of the expert to separate participants from their normal lives and to lead them into a luminal world in which they could re-combine the elements of human culture to produce a new and different hypothetical society.
