present theatre in Second Life. This is
especially interesting when we step back
and realize that we are ALWAYS performing
in Second Life.
…the very nature of this form of
communication suggests constant role-
playing and performance.”

4. “ In the book Drama of Colour Saldaña discusses a
study done by researchers Gourgey, Bosseau, and
Delgado (1985) with lower socio-economic Black
and Hispanic students in elementary school. After a
six month improvisational drama project, gains
were observed in vocabulary and reading
comprehension. Survey results also suggested that
students also showed improvement in attitude
areas including trust, self-acceptance, acceptance
of others, and empowerment “

5. A complex form of “improvisation”
Creative/ structured play
Participatory performance – learners are inside
the performance
An “open” work; meaning is negotiated; a
‘writerly’ (Barthes) text
Always Fiction
6. Process Drama is a group engagement in a
negotiated fictional space where participants role
play (in realistic and creatively expressed forms)
around a theme or issue primarily for the benefit of
shifts in empathetic understanding and extended
perspective.
7. In recent years I’ve been advocating an approach
I’ve been calling “generative play”.
“This approach to learning that does not pursue
predetermined outcomes but rather recognizes that
serendipity in a focused, yet playful, exploration of ideas is
likely to lead to unexpected discoveries and insights that are
of great significance to individuals and groups involved in the
learning. The play is purposeful yet the specific learning is not
prescribed at the outset.”

Technology. Continuum Books (publication forthcoming)
8. “This generative play seems to best emerge when there is a
strong ludic engagement with a limited regard to formulating
an ideal narrative. The narrative emphasis is limited to the
degree to which participants are comfortable with sustaining
the fiction; in some ways this seems to have been anticipated
by Janet Murray when she speculated that:
If participatory environments merge with authored
environments … tensions between the author and the
participants may increase … The area of immersive
enchantment lies in the overlap between these two
domains. (Murray 1997, pp. 266-267)”

18. Early one morning before people had gotten up, a man from
Myrdal in the east was walking past some cliffs when he came to
the entrance to a cave. He could hear that there was merrymaking
and dancing going on inside the hill, and outside he saw a large
number of sealskins. He picked up one of them, took it home, and
locked it in his trunk.
Some time later, in the course of the day, he went back to the
cave's entrance. A beautiful young girl was sitting there. She was
entirely naked and crying bitterly. She was the seal to whom the
skin belonged that the man had taken. The man gave the girl some
clothing, comforted her, and took her home with him.
http://daryllorettecafe.typepad.com/the_altruism/2008/12/the-sealskin.html
19. Later she came to accept him, but never got along very well with
other people. She would often just sit there and look out to sea.
After some time the man took her as his wife. They lived well
together and had many children.
The peasant hid the skin, locking it securely in his trunk, and he
carried the key with him everywhere he went.
http://daryllorettecafe.typepad.com/the_altruism/2008/12/the-sealskin.html
20. Many years later he rowed out fishing and forgot the key at home
under his pillow. However, others say that the peasant went to a
Christmas service with his people, but that his wife had been sick
and was unable to go with them. They say that he forgot to take
the key out of the pocket of his everyday clothes when he
changed. When he arrived home that evening the trunk was
open, and his wife had disappeared with the skin. She had found
the key, out of curiosity looked through the trunk, and found the
skin.
http://daryllorettecafe.typepad.com/the_altruism/2008/12/the-sealskin.html
21. She could not resist the temptation. She said farewell to her
children, put on the skin, and threw herself into the sea.
Before the woman jumped into the sea, it is reported that she
said:
This I want, and yet I want it not, --
Seven children have I at the bottom of the sea,
Seven children have I as well here above.
http://daryllorettecafe.typepad.com/the_altruism/2008/12/the-sealskin.html
22. It is said that this touched the peasant's heart. After this, when he
rowed out fishing, a seal often swam around his boat, and it
seemed that tears were running from its eyes. From this time on
he was always successful catching fish, and luck often came to his
beach.
People frequently saw this couple's children walking on the beach
while a seal swam along out in the sea accompanying them. It
would throw colourful fish and pretty shells to them.
But the mother never again returned to land.

24. ABSTRACT:
Drawing together the established wisdom of
educational drama, applied theatre and quot;situated
role,quot; this session will examine the benefits of creating
socially-driven learning activities inside 3D MUVEs.
Role-played learning activities in 3D MUVEs can be
framed as an quot;active-inquiry process.” This session will
propose and test some effective forms and
conventions to frame inworld roleplay as purposeful
collaborative learning.
