Abstract

This paper suggests that through drama, students can encounter democracy and citizenship as authentic, lived experiences. Using three examples of the use of drama in school and classroom contexts, the author suggests that the lessons of citizenship are best taught through the negotiation, consensus building, and cooperation that is typical of drama environments.
