: The presentation investigates a drama space belonging to an all girls’ community theatre group in an industrial town in Sweden. The girls, aged 13-17, do drama in their spare time and the artistic work produced relies on a participatory process where the girls’ input is vital. This presentation explores the political characteristic of the girls’ drama room which reflects, juxtaposes and opposes particular sites in the participants’ everyday life such as school and family. By working with Foucault’s idea of Heterotopia this presentation examines how the drama room functions as an exclusive and excluding space as a well as a space of resistance. Based on interviews with the girls, this ethnographic study challenges the assumption that applied drama is only an interrelational matter between the drama participants. By examining the drama room as the ‘other place’ in the girls’ everyday lives while also being embedded in the town they live in, this paper explores and problematise the drama room as space for the girls to have agency, there and elsewhere. The study puts spatial and postconstructionist theories to work why notions of space and place are foregrounded. This allows for a ‘dramaspaceknowledge’ to emerge, the influence of which stretches beyond the drama room. This presentation argues that the girls’ ‘dramaspaceknowledge’ is utilised when creating a performance and while challenging structures and norms elsewhere, such as in their schools and the town they live in. This presentation will explore this ‘dramaspaceknowledge’ in more detail as well as problematise the implications of working in a heterotopic space.
