🎭 6 Voices: Bringing Research to the Stage

What happens when teachers are asked to teach outside their area of specialisation?

6 Voices is an original ethnodrama developed through Arts-Based Educational Research and Research-Based Theatre as part of Tayla Fordham’s Master of Philosophy (Education) research at Curtin University.

The research explores the lived experiences of six Western Australian educators teaching secondary Drama outside their major area of specialisation. Drawing on more than 18 hours of interviews, Tayla’s research culminated in a 260-page ethnodrama, 6 Voices, which forms the creative component and Non-Traditional Research Output (NTRO) of the study.

On 15 August 2026, selected moments from the larger work were brought to the stage in a developmental performance, transforming research findings from interview, to analysis, to page, and finally to performance. 🎭

The performance gave audiences the opportunity to connect with the educators’ experiences and share reflections that will help shape the future development of the work.

👏 A huge thank you to Tayla’s supervisors, Carol Carter and Lisa Paris, the six educators who generously shared their experiences, the actors who brought their voices to life on stage, and everyone who attended and contributed to this important research journey.

Packing up after Bookweek is always bitter-sweet. But of course the reading adventures never end. And, while I'm now open to bookings for Bookweek 2027, I am also happy to come see you before then. Lots of availability for the whole year, including bookweek, poetry month, school holidays and everything in between.
