I wish to acknowledge many people who have helped bring this book to life, starting with my former doctoral supervisor, colleagues and family who offered their encouragement and support. Thank you to Prof. Allan Owens who, from the start of my doctoral studies at the University of Chester, trusted my abilities and paved the way for me to experiment with arts-based research methods. A special thanks goes to Tatiana Chemi, Aalborg University for introducing me to De Gruyter Brill and encouraging me to publish my work. To the Qattan drama in education intensive summer school participants who showed readiness and willingness to share their stories and experiences and be intertwined for my doctoral thesis. Without them, I would not have completed my research. I am especially grateful for my family, Haifa, Mohammad and Mousa for their endless support and patience.
