process drama is a term which has gained greater currency over recent years and is used to describe the genre in which performance to an external audience is absent but presentatation to the internal audience is essential. whereas in some other theatrical genres the meaning is made by the theatrical ensemble of actors, playwright, director and designers and communicated to a watching audience; inthe genre of process drama the participants, together with the teacher, constitute the theatrical ensemble and engage in drama to make the meaning for themselves.
