Using drama in research means people who communicate in different ways can take part in research. This article discusses a research project that adopted a number of data generation strategies, including a drama pilot project. The article focuses on the drama pilot project by reviewing the processes involved in working with drama as a research approach. Issues concerning the process of transcription and the competing discourses of research and engaging in a creative performance are discussed. A number of challenges encountered in the drama pilot are also identified, but the author argues that the technique remains a worthwhile and relevant strategy for engaging with many students, including those experiencing severe learning disabilities.
