Abstract

Peter Wright co-ordinates both undergraduate and postgraduate Arts Education at the Universityof New England, NSW, Australia. He is involved in pre- and in-service Teacher Education and Nursing, and Community Cultural Development projects. His recent research has considered competency in drama teachers, Playback Theatre as a contemporary form of Applied Theatre, and using the arts as a form of social-aesthetic inquiry. He has a particular interest in the nexus between learning and healing and believes that people should be involved with the Arts everyday.
