Title: 

Between Worlds: The Function of Twilight Role

Authors: Taylor, Tim
Keywords: drama in education
Issue Date: Jul-2026
Abstract: In Mantle of the Expert, much depends on the teacher’s voice. Not the dramatic voice of full role, and not the instructional voice of the classroom, but something more subtle and responsive. Dorothy Heathcote called this position ‘twilight role’. It is where the fiction is held in mind while the work of curriculum continues.
