Ritual and Ethics--Structuring Participation in a Theatrical Mode.
Cabral, Beatriz A. V.
Research in Drama Education, v6 n1 p55-67 Mar 2001
Examines the role and function of theatre rituals for approaching ethics in the curriculum. Discusses the ritual's main traits as a collective experience, constituting performed actions with symbolic status, within a structure of formal qualities and defined relationships. Concludes that theatre rituals: enable children's individual voices to emerge in the process, create a theatrical environment which supports collective manifestations, and deal with contradictory points of view.
