Abstract

The article is a practice-theoretical exploration of a process drama workshop based on Ernest Hemingway’s short-story Hills Like White Elephants (1927). It is an attempt to elucidate a drama conventions approach to a whole drama structure based on a literary text. Qualified by the question: How can thematic discovery within the short story, and attention to artistic form in the developing process drama, be realised through a dramatic conventions approach?, the article draws on both educational drama and theatre studies literature in relation to conventions, as well as sources related to text analysis and process drama practice.
