CHAPTER SIX: CONTEXT AND FURTHER USE OF THE FINDINGS OF MY ACTION RESEARCH
Bond’s work with LTD has generated interest in developing this complex
field. My research builds on his work and develops it further in directions
that are different than the ones explored by Davis. The impact of including
different Bondian structures explicitly into LTD is a major step forward from
the work of Davis in this territory. Hopefully this research will be followed by
other explorations in this territory. The assertion that LTD is compatible with
complex theatre practices will perhaps encourage others to explore various
connections between theatre and the living through approach. I also hope
that some of the exciting questions raised by the research will be studied
further by colleagues.
On a personal level there are a number of questions I would like to
investigate further. I believe that a more tightly focused exploration of the use
of objects or the subject of reflection could develop my understanding further
in this field. I look forward to adapting the outcomes of this research to
working with younger children and also testing how engaging with the same
group of participants for an extended period of time can help in working in
more complex ways. The findings from this research will greatly influence my
future work, both as a drama educator and a theatre practitioner.
