Abstract
The teaching of drama occurs amidst conflict. All involved in the drama have a relationship to that conflict. And while conflict - within and between individuals and the circumstances in which they live - may appear to be ever present, it is also situated, systemic and subject to seemingly individual, unrelated and unexpected events. For these reasons conflict throws up opportunities for reflection, be they upon the process or the product of that conflict: drama. Frequently patterns of conflict can be seen- or found- and those patterns can also be seen to change over time in response to circumstance. Perceptions of this kind can be constructed as the basis of deeper ways of knowing and; or this reason it is arguable that conflict is intimately related to learnlng and consciousness.
