The political bind of access is also a conceptual problem. It is impossible to refuse to engage in strategies to extend access to institutions, representations, buildings, education, discourse, etc. We cannot oppose access or strategies for access without reinforcing marginalisation and exclusion. We can't \u003ci\u003enot\u003c\/i\u003e want access for ourselves or for others. However, we are then in danger of remaining immersed in a distribution of power that reinforces and naturalises inequality as difference. For applied theatre and drama education, the act of creating, teaching, and learning is intrinsically connected to choice, along with the agency and capacity to choose. What is less clear, and what still interests us, is how the distribution of power and representation creates the schema for an analysis of access and diversity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book was originally published as a special issue of \u003ci\u003eResearch in Drama Education: The Journal of Applied Theatre and Performance\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Routledge","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47616273547415,"sku":"9780367367534","price":14551.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780367367534.webp?v=1775112252","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/on-access-in-applied-theatre-and-drama-education-9780367367534","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
