Abstract

This paper seeks to explore the relationship between the body, oral history and drama education. It offers some reflections on the author's experiences of reminiscence theatre and the performance of autobiography, and raises questions about the ethics of intergenerational drama projects. Drawing on the work of Jacques Derrida, it will consider how the idea of the body as an archive might inform community-based reminiscence theatre and performed local knowledge in drama education.
