This chapter outlines the Malaysian Drama and Conflict project (DRACON) which was aimed at testing the potential of using process-oriented arts as a model for exploring conflict and enhancing conflict literacy among school-going adolescents aged 10–16. The chapter opens with a brief introduction to the cultural context, the education and counselling system in schools and educational drama in Malaysia. The chapter then expounds the three cycles of the Malaysian project, where arts exercises (drama, dance and visual arts) were used to engage participants in various experiential, in-role and reflective tasks in order to facilitate the exploration of conflict. The ensuing results revealed that combining a process-orientated creative arts approach with the conventional conflict-handling model provided a possible interface between the affective and cognitive modes of conflict recognition. The Malaysian study underscores the potential of process art to broaden the boundaries of conventional conflict exploration, making it more participatory (less ‘talk’, more ‘action-orientation’); more empowering (exploring projected needs and interests); more comfortable (moving from personal to group space); and safer (moving from real to fictional). |
