Imagined Worlds in Theatre and Drama.
O'Neill, Cecily
Theory into Practice, v24 n3 p158-65 Sum 1985
The essential nature of drama is a liberating act of imagination, of self-transcendence. A session is described in which the class maintained the delicate balance of dual consciousness and focused its attention and empathy on an illusory but possible world, creating and being responsible for the meaning of its construction.
