Praxis: Drama as Reflective Action for Social Transformation
Call for Contributions

Praxis has been defined as "the action and reflection of people upon their world in order to transform it" (Friere 1972) and "the act of reflectively constructing or reconstructing the social world" (Grundy 1987). Arendt (1958) described praxis as being reflective of a relationship between individuals and their wider community. What is fundamental to the concept of praxis is that it is the integration of reflection with action, or simply, it is action informed by theory, with a view to transformation of the larger social community. The nature of this interaction may be that theory transforms action, which may in turn reshape theory, and so on, in an holistic relationship. It is also essential to this concept that the individuals and/or community are empowered to decide on the changes best suited to their specific contexts, and are enabled to identify or develop the tools to effect such change.
