CHAPTER FIVE: DATA ANALYSIS In Bondian terms site A, the contradictions of the world we live in, need to be present in site B, in the story through specific actions and situations and roles. Powerful images can also trigger the imagination to make connections between different worlds. 6) The ownership and control of the fiction creates engagement in the drama but the loss of control over the narrative at certain points creates extreme moments and a motivation to understand and build the story further. I found that a potential for extreme situations can be created in moments when the participants lose control over the story, but still have an ownership of the fictional context. Possibilities for Further Research As stated before, this study engaged in an extremely wide survey of two complex fields and has gone some of the way in bringing the two closer. However, there are many important topics that would demand further investigation to produce more practically implementable knowledge. I will list some of these possibilities for further research. « Using the space and the specific site of the drama offers more possibilities than what was uncovered in this research. Perhaps designing elements of space that carry more profound contradictions or sharper content that can be tested in the situations would be a possibility. But also breaking down and offering the possibility of designing more usable spaces together with the participants could be researched further. s The angle of connection is a complex concept that needs further research so it can be implemented more productively in the field of drama education. Also its relationship to the concept of Site would offer useful grounding for the further exploration of Edward Bond’s theories and practice. « The relationship of Internal Coherence and Centre is also something to explore further. Both concepts play an important role in structuring drama, it would be useful to understand more about how they relate to each other. I have also come to some realisation in relation to my own practice that might be useful to share at this point, as the central aim of this action research is to develop my own work. a) I became aware during the analysis of the data of the problem that my images, preconceptions of what sort of theatre I was looking for influenced the way I evaluated the situations as a facilitator during + 230 +
