This paper examines dual contradictions, relations between gender, violence and drama
from within a post-constructionist approach that deconstructs all the categorised thought systems,
and shows how gender relations intersect with other oppressive practices. Based on the premise
that any hierarchical thought system produces violence by itself, the discussion will focus on what
can be done in a creative drama workshop in order not to create a hierarchical relation between
the trainer and the participants having differences in terms of experience, age, race, social class,
gender identity and sexual orientation. This discussion will include various steps in a creative
drama workshop from the planning to the practicing. The paper will also consider the possibilities
provided by a non-hierarchical, non- authoritarian and hence violence-free creative drama
workshop.
