The processes and pedagogies for promoting creativity and creative thinking are often described as problem-based and inquiry learning. ‘Generic’ design processes such as ‘design thinking’ (IDEO2011) are also proposed as being somehow common to creative processes. However most of these models arose from graphic design and visual arts traditions, so do these models actually take account of the specific strengths and opportunities for cultivating creativity through drama? What does it mean to engage in a creative process as a dramatist or a dramatic pedagogue? How does a consideration of dramatic form and process shape experience and impact on the visioning and imagining processes? This presentation investigates the concerns and considerations of the creative process in drama processes, play building and writing to propose embracing the concept of ‘dramatic thinking’. This is a version of a presentation shared at the Drama Australia 'Creative Capital' National Symposium, hosted at the Canberra Theatre, Centre, Canberra Sept 29, 2017.

Introducing Dramatic Thinking!
- 1. Susan Davis CQUniversity, Australia s.davis@cqu.edu.au Keynote presentation for Drama Australia National Symposium Canberra 29 Sept 2017 Dramatic thinking Owning our process! Images taken in and outside of the Museum of Australian Democracy, Canberra
- 2. DESIGN THINKING Along with STEM, Design Thinking seems to be everywhere at present. Promoted as a generic creative and problem-solving process, sometimes as the means to teach STEM.
- 3. Design thinking – over 17,500,000 results they have some good graphics!
- 4. IDEO Design thinking for educators Design thinking – makes some pretty big claims!
- 5. Design thinking models…. There are a range of models, promoted by some major companies and organisations • Stanford d.school • IDEO • Cooper Hewitt Smithsonian
- 6. THINK ABOUT KEY ASPECTS OF THE WAY YOU THINK AND WORK WITH A NEW PROJECT… WHAT DO THESE MODELS CAPTURE/NOT CAPTURE? Participants suggested: creating, people, embodiment
- 7. Design Minds – State Library of Queensland http://designonline.org.au/toolkit-getting-started-with-design-thinking/
- 9. WHILE SOME MODELS INCLUDE EMPATHY, DOES THAT DO JUSTICE TO THE HUMAN PARTICIPANTS, ROLES, PROCESSES OF OUR ART FORM, WHERE WE MAKE WITH AND FOR (NOT FOR ‘USERS’)? Also note… how we are convieving of thinking here. The mind and thinking extends beyond what is held in one person’s ‘brain’, and in creative processes such as those in drama, bodies and minds jointly interact to construct and create.

- 11. However, design thinking models arose from graphic design and visual arts traditions, so does that matter? And as Somerson, Hermano & Maeda (2013) identify these are ‘object-based’ learning and thinking traditions. Design thinking models were created to describe processes concerned with making a ‘thing’ that sits outside of the makers.
- 12. Dramatic thinking – around 20,000 results, no coherent framework What’s with the images of contemplative men?

- 14. LET’S EXPLORE… BEING IN CANBERRA, WORKING AS A ‘DRAMATIST’
- 15. The house on the hill, the centre of power
- 16. The white house below… old parliament house
- 17. The ‘not- white’ people across the road, with whom no treaty has ever been signed
- 18. The Aboriginal Tent Embassy… A premise… looking for the black history in the white house!
- 19. Museum of Australian Democracy display
- 20. Museum of Australian Democracy display
- 21. in the MOAD Display
- 22. The people and the stories behind the 1967 referendum – Faith Bandler, Pearl Gibbs
- 23. And with Jessie Street… a woman of colour who was not Aboriginal, an Aboriginal woman, and a pioneering (white) feminist. Wonderful women – great characters and stories to work with … where could you take that through dramatic thinking Scriptwriting, playbuilding, process drama, performance???
- 24. http://jute.com.au/2015/whats-on/proppa-solid/ A possible text to use with a class as a pre-text and premise… it’s 2044 and Australia has it’s first Aboriginal President …. What happened in the 100 years leading up to that time?
- 25. Dramatic thinking Verbs to activate the process • Ideate • Relate • Create • Shape and translate • Communicate
- 26. Davis 2017 (created using Easel.ly)
- 27. Why a human focussed thinking process might be relevant beyond the world of drama? We live in a world not only populated by things, but people! Knowing how to work with them, problem-solve and create with them still matters… probably matters more than ever!

- Dramatic thinking I would think that in both design thinking and dramatic, we inquire and work with ideas. In drama work, perhaps those it is that we often begin with a premise, and a question and perhaps that forms into a purpose. But what is our magic weapon, what makes our process special? It is the privileging of ‘what if’ – that leap into the realm of imagination, the opportunity to create and step inside and inhabit the stories, to test out the possibilities ourselves. In dramatic thinking then people are everything. The subjects, content, the ‘things’ we create, the interactions that enable it to occur. As Me becomes we As I share from Me > you And as we consider who, through roles and relationships. (I guess you could say in Haseman and O’Toole’s model, that this is the human context, the foundational building blocks of drama). Dramatic thinking is then realised through process. These involve research, experimentation and action. Whether as a teacher, director, writer or performer, you are selecting strategies and experiences, thinking about things such as time frames and places. Dramatic thinking involves taking into account voice, language, patterns, contrast and rhythm. And these assemblages are structured and shaping embodied acts and texts, and ‘shared’ or ‘performed’ for and with audiences.
